MEANDERS IN PRODUCTION OF URBAN SPACE: MOBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the production of urban space in the capitalist mode of production. From three elements we consider here, metaphorically, the meanders in the production of urban space, ie, mobility, accessibility and social exclusion we understand the differences in spatial relations. In this context, the production of urban space occurs through objects and actions, work, ideas and representations, ways of life etc. Urban space is produced, thus, through the mobility of people and objects, of people that take objects, of objects that transform the mobility of people. Are relationships that interact in the urban re-creating and creating through the accessibility and mobility by providing fast and efficient access to certain places. Through the production of space differential accessibility is uneven for different classes and/or fractions of classes that move, that work, which survive. This inequality creates social exclusion (or inclusion precarious), depending on the intricacies of the production area such as mobility, which can enable, improve and increase accessibility. San meanders, are social relations that produce the urban space in a different way.

Key-words:

Urban space. Production. Mobility. Accessibility. Social exclusion.
