| Sumario: | In Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais, as in many Brazilian cities, with the growth of the population, the "natural" environment was profoundly modified. At the same time, in the south of the city, mining activity developed in Serra do Curral, which contains one of the largest iron mining operations in Minas Gerais. Topped by its landscape, the Serra is a geographical reference for the entire metropolitan area, a historical, natural and scenic symbol of Belo Horizonte. In this postcard-like environment, between the wealthy neighborhoods, a small slum called "Acaba mundo" developed, contrary to the social conditions of these neighborhoods, which constitutes one of the poorest areas of Belo Horizonte and that takes part of its resources from its proximity to nature. But this area attracts real estate speculation. In response to these actions, movements and strategies are being structured around this coveted space. In this conflict for the appropriation of nature in the city, alliances of convenience were formed between residents of the favela and residents of neighboring wealthy neighborhoods, whose interests are currently converging, in favor of the defense of the sector's environmental wealth and demands for a «right the city ". In this fight for spatial justice in the context of recent ecological disasters that hurt the region and strongly affected public opinion, real estate projects that do not respect the environment and social needs are faced with a citizenry, associative and informed of environmental law. |
