Abstract

The urban space has a dynamic process of transformation that is influenced, with a greater or lesser intensity, by the owners of the means of production, land owners, property developers, the state and excluded social groups. This research aims at demonstrating that the production of urban space and the housing expansion in Campo Mourão (PR), Brazil, were stimulated by public funding, in particular the Program Minha Casa Minha Vida, implemented by the Federal Government, contributing to a production of urban space with the purpose of speculation, and leading to spatial segregation. Through the use of maps of the urban area, aerial images of the districts Jardim Albuquerque and Conjunto Cohapar, and indicators of the Demographic Census performed by IBGE in 2010, it was observed that public funding has influenced the production of urban space in Campo Mourão, causing an increase in real estate values, leading to spatial segregation.
