چکیده
Brazilian official institutions, following the frequent pattern of developing countries’ urban mismanagement, have not succeeded in wrestling with Brazil’s historic tradition of occupation prior to tenure regularization and of gradual (non-planned) expansion of urban areas (Marx, 1991). This tradition favoured the production of informal settlements, which are increasingly shaping cities’ expansion. Little is known about how much the informal origin of consolidated low income areas interferes with their integration into the whole city, and about the contribution of formerly informal space to its inhabitants’ life chances over time, as the transformations of consolidation take place.
