Abstract

The purpose of this article is to understand the role of policies in relation to the guidelines of the Democratic State of Law in Brazil. The research problem is related to understanding the directives that lead to the reformulations of the urban space and its main interests. The initial hypothesis proposes that such processes of public policy construction, when not properly planned according to democratic objectives, produce actions that are opposed by concept: they are not related to the reduction, but to the deepening of the democratic deficit. The research methodology, of historical-dialectical character, has as its analysis the bibliographic review. The exclusionary urbanization so characteristic of Brazilian society remains unscathed in many places, even in those that have undergone urbanization processes through the execution of public housing policies. What is observed are policies executed according to the dominant political-electoral forces in each government, without any attention to the purposes that should guide its elaboration and execution. As we shall mention, the case of Vila Autódromo and the Mega-Events in the city of Rio de Janeiro are the quintessence of such a hypothesis.
