Understanding the Map of Irregular and Informal Settlements in the South of Brazil

چکیده
The subject of the illegality and informality of the urban settlements is intrinsically related to the urbanization process in Brazil, so that the country is globally known by the “favelas” of the great cities. However, the phenomenon tends to sprawl for almost all Brazilian cities starting from a certain size and development level. Pelotas (323,000 inhabitants) is a medium city located in the south of Brazil, near to the border with Uruguay. We may consider it as a typical Brazilian and Latin-American city, sharing all the contradictions that characterize these urban areas. This paper aims to discuss the phenomenon of the irregular human settlements in the city, a structural component of its urban development, which we classify as a socially conservative and unequal modernizator.
