Ponta de Campina, a neighborhood in Cabedelo, which is a city within metropolitan region of João Pessoa – PB
Production of urban space – Real estate capital – Ponta de Campina neighborhood.
The production of urban space in Brazilian cities is still connected with the way through which the land division happened in the country since its colonization. This context explains why onlya small group of the population has the right over private propriety – land/housing, opposed to most people who is marginalized and have their rights denied throughout the history. This factor corroborates the social disparity scenario and is associated with the configuration of urban spaces until nowadays, especially on coastal areas whose vacation appeal attracts the real estate capital. This guides therefore the space production according to the agents’ interests and strategies which are responsible for this construction, determining where and how such urban places will be occupied. Thereby, this case study concerns the urban space production on vacation areas, more specifically on Ponta de Campina, a neighborhood in Cabedelo, which is a city within metropolitan region of João Pessoa – PB, in order to observe the interference of real estate capital in the process of occupation of the aforementioned neighborhood, focusing on the dissemination of residential enterprises in its pieces of land – especially by the sea –as the remnants of non-demarcated land on the North coast of João Pessoa city.
