Fragmentação socioespacial e o espaço urbano: o shopping Riomar Kennedy e a reestruturação urbana no bairro Presidente Kennedy em Fortaleza - Ceará

Abstract

The Presidente Kennedy neighborhood, located in the city of Fortaleza, has become one of the spaces that has changed the most in the last twenty years. One of the main changes was the installation of Shopping RioMar Kennedy, which was accompanied by the process of verticalization and closed condominiums, juxtaposed with a population that already resided in the neighborhood, who descend from migrants who fled the droughts and also from industrial workers. , with that, we have the socioeconomic fragmentation of the urban space, with the process of social juxtaposition. The space where the large enterprise is located was an industry, due to the process that renewed the management and organization of work for greater flexibility of work, productive restructuring. The main objective of this work is to analyze the transformations that occurred in the Presidente Kennedy neighborhood, from the moment of planning, execution and installation of Shopping RioMar Kennedy, as well as the impact on the population that lives in the surroundings. We can consider that the installation of these developments impacts the surrounding space, influencing a certain area where they are installed, modifying the urban dynamics present there.
