Abstract

The present paper seeks to identify which are the elements of formation of the urban territory with regard to the land aspect, who are the actors that participate in this formation, producing and consuming this space. The paper also seeks to identify which legislation influences the formation of this territory. The study focuses on the genesis and construction of urban territory, in how real state speculation takes place, in a way to ilustrate the mechanism of how it works , delimiting the operation of a few urbanistic instruments from Estatuto da Cidade and then how to apply them to solve tensions between market with its individual needs and population in general with their colective needs. The work also brings data used to correlate the retention and unjustified maintenance of large masses of unused urban land with the escalation of land prices.
