Densification and verticalization in the central cities of the Metropolitan Region of Baixada Santista

Abstract

The article discusses the verticalization and densification process of central cities in the Metropolitan Region of Baixada Santista, state of São Paulo, and its effects on the socio-spatial structure and on the environment in the period between 1980 and 2010. It also analyzes projections for the 2010-2020 period, based on data from official agencies and the real estate market. The results reveal that this process has changed the natural landscape and currently reinforces socio--spatial segregation, with dispersion of occupation to environmentally vulnerable areas, generating urban mobility problems.
