- Title
FAVELA'S REMOVAL.
- Authors
Pereira Lira, Ricardo Cesar
- Abstract
The text to be followed text was given in a lecture at the City Law Forum of School of Magistracy of the State of Rio de Janeiro, which is why there are no bibliographical references. The author initially talks about the historical beacons that guided brazilian urbanization from the second half of the twentieth century and were reflected in the then capital of the Republic, impacting until the current days. Be noteworthy structural, socioeconomic problems, accentuated by the rapid industrialization and the lack of planning, which led to the increasing slackening of the low-income population, particularly, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The author argues that, the self-construction synthesizing the favela, is configured in the urban scenario as a solution to the lack of respect for the right to adequate housing, but unfolds in serious consequences for the harmony of the urban social fabric. Among other examples, the author illustrates the perverse process of spatial segregation, leading to the removal and "gentrification" pertinent to estate speculative dynamics. All invoke numerous social wounds that correspond to him. He defends, as possible solutions to manage the urban housing problem, the conjugation of two paths: one of political order, being configured in a kind of social pact; another, to use the relevant legal instruments. Thus, it addresses the national legal system, such as the Statute of Cities, a diploma that dialogues with the constitutional premises that give it inspiration, having a range of institutes that can mitigate this problem, but which still lack the pertinent effectiveness. He also ventures into land regularization, where gains prominence the My House My Life program, object of Law nº. 11.977, dated June 7, 2009, highlighted for low-income settlements located in urban areas. This program dispenses with the intervention of the Judiciary, optimizing the procedure. These are broadly the approach of this text.
