Also the proper action of the State, in the moving one to the (re)criation of adjusted urban infrastructure, habitation and legislation, propitiates the valuation of the ground, causing a residential of middle classes and high standard to a large extent of this territory, implying new forms and functions; "paradoxically", allow to remain themselves or to (re)criate not-valueable areas in this territory, exactly not-privileged for the real estate market, generating characteristic specific and distinct actions of its inhabitants. It is argued as if it gives the access to the housing and the ways of occupation, use and control, whose differentiated conditions consistute the space segregation.
