Abstract

The article discusses the importance of the role of space as a tool for controlling and co-opting informal commerce by large economic agents. That is a new model of urban management, which started in 2013 with the Confederations Cup and in 2014 with the World Cup. What is new is the guarantee of a market monopoly, spatially operationalized, through the partnership of the State with large enterprises, such as the International Football Federation (Fifa) and breweries. The use of the urban space for market interests intensifies historical processes of commercialization and segregation in the city, imposing changes in the relationship between the upper and lower circuit of the urban economy, and the curtailment of the rights to the city.
