The Fallen Angel in the Promised Land: Property, Regulation, and Conflicts in the Peripheral Reurbanization of the 21st-Century São Paulo

ABSTRACT

Reflecting critically on contemporary peripheral urbanization and on private property as a structuring category in the processes of space production, the text starts from the performance of a private company that mediates land conflicts in order to debate the trajectory of public policy for land regularization in Brazil and the role of the State as a regulatory instance, in view of what has been taking place as a neoliberal urban policy.

Keywords:
land tenure conflicts; land regularization; property; regulation
