A Geografia vai ao shopping center: as socioespacialidades estabelecidas entre o território da Vila Cristalina e o Shopping da Ilha no contexto urbano de São Luís - MA

Abstract

The context of inequality in Brazilian urban space gives rise to a series of issues related to the concept of territorial uses across the country. In this sense, this dissertation aimed to understand the contradictory socio-spatialities established between the territory of Vila Cristalina and Shopping da Ilha in the urban context of São Luís. Historical materialism allowed us to understand the processes of (re)production of urban space and their respective territorial uses The preliminaries obtained pointed to a social abyss between two realities so close from a geographical point of view.
