Resumo:
The theme of the work is the discussion that is established between development and society.
The central objective of this research is to understand if there is a relationship between the
organization of the space environment of the city of Atibaia-SP and the determination of the
forms of consumption in this territory. Thus, we have as empirical basis of the study the city of
Atibaia, located in the state of São Paulo, where the development and the enterprises, which
change and renew, have been installed with more intensity over the last 20 years. The work is
justified by the importance and possibility of expanding academic research on the Region of
Atibaia, besides contributing to the understanding of the construction of physical and social
spaces and the processes of socioeconomic segregation. Therefore, the objective is to analyze
the spaces of socialization and investigate the areas of segregation of consumption of the city
of Atibaia. The work is mainly based on authors such as David Harvey, Milton Santos and
Henri Lefebvre, who propose the spatial interactions of the city and social actors, also the
analytical perspective of understanding the role of the city in the local and regional context.
Thus, we propose to analyze the data regarding the growth of the city of Atibaia-SP and, finally,
create a debate to understand the segregation of consumers in the municipality in which the
consumption pattern constitutes a brand of social class, since consumption is not accessible to
all, so that holders of economic capital have greater access to the products available in the city,
public or private.
