In this context, significant parts of cities are constituted by irregular settlements, marked by urban precariousness, which spatialize social and economic inequality.

This research aims to identify and analyze the crises and resistance arising from the conflicts between new forms of real estate development and areas of irregular settlements in the city of Pelotas. With the structuring of information on the process of real estate expansion in relation to areas of irregular settlements (built environment, actors, strategies, forms of resistance), seek to support critical reflection and the construction of instruments for the elaboration of overcoming alternatives.
