Urban production in the brazilian semi-arid: a study about Pau dos Ferros, RN, Brazil

Abstract: This research aims to analyze aspects of the urban morphology of the city of Pau dos Ferros, located in the semi - arid interior of Rio Grande do Norte, based on the performance of agents that produce space. Methodological procedures were developed: bibliographic review, on-site visits and documentary analysis. It was concluded that the logic of capital accumulation guides the production of these spaces, contributing to the real estate valuation and the socio-spatial segregation in the city.
