A diferenciação espacial e o preço da terra na cidade de Manaus - AM

Abstract

The city of Manaus exhibits internal dynamics of spatial transformation, adopting characteristics of a sprawling metropolis with distinctions that can be identified through materialized spatial forms, which are also reflected in land prices. The first aspect is tied to the materiality associated with different space-shaping agents, expressing their intentions and purchasing power through constructed spatial forms (ranging from avenues to condominiums). The second aspect is driven by the State and the market, resulting in distinctions in the use and occupation of urban land, as well as internal islands of valorization that appeal to specific space-producing agents. In this context, this study addresses the transformations of Manaus through a discussion on spatial differentiation and its relationship with land prices. To this end, the research involved a bibliographic review, fieldwork, and the systematization of data and information into representations, following a qualitative-quantitative methodological approach. From the collected data, it was identified that the square meter prices in Manaus reveal a visible spatial differentiation, represented through maps.
