Segregação social e racial na (re)produção do espaço urbano brasileiro: desafios de uma cidade educadora

Abstract

The bibliographic and documentary article aims to analyze the city from a double perspective: as a space where the production and reproduction of socioeconomic and racial segregations occurs, but also as a possibility for the realization of rights and citizenship. The tension between the right to the city and exclusion in and from the city itself takes on different contours, but it is a reality in many cities, even if with different intensities. Cities that define themselves as educators are challenged to delve deeper into how socioeconomic, cultural, political and racial segregation practices occur in different spaces, as well as to increase practices that ensure citizenship. Within this spectrum, the article begins with a general problematization, delves into the concepts of structural and multidimensional racism, confronting them with the right to the city within the scope of the debate on educating cities and concludes by pointing out some challenges for guaranteeing the right to the city and how she can effectively become an educator.
