Abstract

This research aims to understand, via urban legislation, the process of vertical growth, seeking to identify it as a regulatory and production instrument and as space constraints of the vertical growth as well as studying the agents' role in Londrina and Maringá. The study emphasizes the role of the state and the real estate capital in the urban space production. Through the identification of vertical growth periods, it was sought to join the urban laws and see if them have influenced in the vertical growth urban planning. We have worked with the concepts of vertical urban growth and some urban planning instruments inserted or parts of urban laws. From a transdisciplinary dialogue involving urban geography, urban planning, urban sociology and urban and regional planning, we analyzed the role of the state, starting from the authors' view who verify the existence of social/private contradiction established in capitalists cities, which is necessary to identify the way it operates in the cities studied. The main capitalist agents that produce the city were identified as well as ways of acting, its strategies and actions. Finally, we carried out a test in order to compare Londrina and Maringa in terms of the particularities and peculiarities of the vertical growth. By checking the vertical density in these two cities opportunities for study was noticed, since they differ from the cities of similar size in other areas of the country. The methodology consisted of theoretical methodological, empirical and technical.
