Regularização fundiária urbana das favelas na cidade de Montes Claros/MG

Abstract

This dissertation proposes a study on the urban land regularization in favelas based on Law 13.465/2017 and possible impacts that may arise from this procedure. Therefore, the objective was to bring a reflection on the application of the Law of Reurb in the urban land regularization of favelas, emphasizing the case of the city of Montes Claros/MG. This is predominantly qualitative research that, through bibliographic and documentary research, aims at analyzing the Reurb Law, which simplifies the urban land regularization process but triggers criticisms on its effectiveness in solving the real social and urban problems of informality. Thus, initially, agents that produce the urban space, the right to the city, the process of favela formation, and the consequences of this informality are presented. Subsequently, there is an overview of Brazilian legislation on the urban issue until reaching the process of formation of Law 13.465/2017, addressing the peculiarities of its emergence, the criticisms raised, its provisions, and its main innovations. Finally, it proceeds with the analysis in the city of Montes Claros, verifying the process of formation of favelas, characterizing them as location, size, and the number of residents, and evaluating the procedures of urban land regularization that have already been used by the municipality, pondering on how this new legislation has interfered in the city's actions. As a result, it is verified that Montes Claros has not yet undertaken many concrete actions for the land regularization of its informal settlements and that any future processes will have to stick to much more than entitle the residents, but in guaranteeing the right to the city to themselves, having mechanisms and strategies so that Reurb is not triggered by real estate speculation, with the “eviction” of former residents, and serving as a cause of more exclusions.
