Abstract

This research presents an analysis of urban planning in the municipality of São Luis, capital of the State of Maranhão, by the legislation of zoning, subdivision, use and occupation of the land and how it influences the forms of production of the space, interfering in the modes of appropriation of the city by the majority of its inhabitants, who do not enjoy quality of life, nor enjoy the proper infrastructure, preventing the realization of the right to the city. The discussion revolves around the influence of the legislation of 1975, when there is an inflection in the municipality of São Luís, represented by the rapid expansion of its urban space through federal government investments, but mainly of the Zoning Law of 1992, still in force, which brings in its text the novelty of the introduction of the so-called Social Interest Zones, an important instrument for vulnerable populations, but which in practice has not yet fully achieved its objectives, which is a guarantee of land regularization combined with the consolidation of infrastructure and access to urban equipment .
