TORRES, Haroldo da Gama; MARQUES, Eduardo; FERREIRA, Maria Paula  e  BITAR, Sandra. Pobreza e espaço: padrões de segregação em São Paulo. Estud. av. [online]. 2003, vol.17, n.47, pp. 97-128. ISSN 0103-4014.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-40142003000100006.

THIS STUDY intends to revisit the urban segregation debate in Brazil, taking into account new data from the 2000 Demographic Census and the use of geographic information systems. We argue that the center-periphery model is a rough simplification of the urban form, and that the São Paulo outskirts are heterogeneous, with important consequences for public policies.
