Residential Segregation in Sao Paulo: Consequences for Urban Policies

Abstract

Brazilian cities are highly segregated in spatial terms. Besides the prevalence of shantytowns, these cities generally present a radial-concentric urban structure, with the rich population concentrated in the center of large cities while the poor are located in peripheral, more distant areas (Santos and Bronstein, 1978; Villaça, 2000; Caldeira, 2000). In spite of its intensity, residential segregation is not a major theme in the Brazilian social debate. Whereas academic discussions on social issues focus on poverty and income inequalities, segregation is rarely used as a basis for public policy-making. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
