SUMMARY:

In recent decades, there is an understanding that significant transformations have been percolating, in general, in certain peripheral spaces in the Brazilian Metropolitan Regions, intertwined by what we call the process of capitalization of the peripheries. This phenomenon, driven by real estate, commercial and service capital, aided by the action of the State, signals the financialization of space, in which economic relations between producing agents and consumer agents of economic real estate goods are intermediated by financial institutions and companies, through the availability of credit, on the market, at interest (time value of money). In the Metropolitan Region of Natal, specifically, in the city of Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte, this phenomenon calls our attention in the Planalto, Igapó, Potengi and Pajuçara neighborhoods, which constitute the spatial cutout of our study, notably in the period of 2000 to 2020. In this excerpt, we observe that the capitalization process has contributed to the emergence of elements not only of a cyclical nature, but also structural, such as, for example, spatial differentiation, change in the perception of these spaces as peripheries in the city and, more evidently, interest and expansion of capital in the supply of goods and services formerly belonging to exclusive portfolios of the middle class. This points to movements in the city's “kaleidoscopic” that suggest important changes in the spatial coordination of the city. Given that we cannot think about the urban issue (expansion and development) of the City of Natal, currently, without considering the ongoing transformations mentioned, the general objective of this research is to analyze the role of Peripheries in the Capitalization Process now exercised in order and convention city of Natal, based, above all, on the actions of the State and the logic of the formal market, with a focus on residential real estate development projects, in the production of the city's urban space. It is noteworthy that this is a research of a geographic nature, whose theme, little explored, deals with the capitalization of the periphery and its relationship with urban spatial coordination, as a mediating mechanism for the production of urban space in Natal. In this sense, the path we traced for its realization is guided by the examination of the empirical in the light of theoretical frameworks of reference and its opportune re-elaboration based on field findings. Therefore, our methodological procedures circumscribe three fronts of data collection, namely: bibliographic research; document research and field research. In these terms, our challenge is to understand reality in motion, with its contradictions and permanent transformations, capturing the articulations of the problem under study, observed in its praxis, together with the heterodox abstraction of theoretical thought, initially based on Lefebvre (2013 ); Harvey (2005), Villaça (2001) and Abramo (2001, 2007). For the qualification of this work to a doctoral degree, we present, in addition to the introduction, 3 completed chapters, which deal with the theoretical foundation of the research, the methodology outlined to achieve its objectives and the urban order and convention placed in Natal do Natal do 20th century, with the emerging transformations observed in the first two decades of the 21st century.
