Requalificação dos predinhos de Santa Tereza como garantia da cidadania e da função social da propriedade

Abstract

this paper deals with the concept of environmental sustainability in the urban environment. applying the logic of capacity utilization, proposes the use of the housing stock to meet the demand existing housing. this proposal finds legal and legislative impediments, which aim, more or less concealed, the protection of private property. the application of the principle of the social function of property passes by reinsertion of the existing buildings in the lower income social market. this implies the participation of the government, as agent enabler, maintainer and controller, and also the full and effective participation of the beneficiary population within democratic processes and self-managed redevelopment. in this sense, the paper discusses the case of the "santa tereza buildings" , in which we find fraudulent abandonment of buildings by construction and occupancy by low-income families in need.
