O papel da ONU HABITAT e a cidade de Palmas nas relações globais sobre direito à cidade: entre a história e as novas perspectivas

Abstract

The aim of this work is to discuss the issue of the right to the city and housing and its convergence with international relations, as well as the importance of the historical process at a global and institutional level on the subject. Understanding the scientific foundations laid for a general understanding of the theme, the right to the city, has as its theoretical path to provide a social reflection also on the various other themes adjoined in the research, such as the valorization of gender equality, access to commerce, health and education services, support for minority groups. The topic is relevant to International Relations, especially if we consider the role of UN-Habitat, which will be the starting point for understanding the importance that the topic has acquired in this important international organization. We also want to understand the municipality of Palmas, whose configuration is an expression of real estate speculation and peripheralization that has pushed the working class away from the center, creating a relationship of poverty and scourge for those who live on the margins of the city. This work was based on bibliographical research.
