This paper approaches the recent strategies of building construction in the metropolitan area of Vitoria (RMGV). It focuses on the transformations of urban space in the municipality of Serra-ES, whose urban dynamics was related historically to the peripheral expansion of the metropolis since 1970. Thus, the forms of housing construction were articulated, above all, with the reproduction of the lower income population, such as lots and housing for the working class. In recent years, the city is a privileged stage for real estate investment materialized in new spatial forms, such as horizontal and vertical condominiums. In the real estate dynamics of the metropolis, Serra emerges as another front in the performance of real estate capital, which is based on promoting a new product in the State of Espírito Santo market, gated communities and image associated with security, access to nature etc. The activity of capitalist building production in the city is marked by new relations promoted by large corporations, publicly traded on the stock exchange, which establish partnerships with local companies. |
