URBAN LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST APOROPHOBIA: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CITIES OF PALMAS-TO AND SÃO PAULO-SP

Abstract

Architecture and Law can work concomitantly in favour of Human Rights. It is with this vision that through an analysis between Palmas and São Paulo, we observe in this study how Urban Law can be used to combat aporophobia in Brazil, how the two areas can be interconnected to promote the Right to the city to citizens marginalised by poverty and homelessness, who in addition to living with prejudice rooted in society, still suffer from the so-called hostile architecture in common living environments. This study aims to address the concepts of hostile architecture and aporophobia and to analyse the legislative discussions that address the aforementioned content. To this end, it is proposed to analyse, record and discuss the points related to the topics addressed. This is a qualitative and quantitative research, which used bibliographic and documentary review in the scope of laws, norms and regulations, and using sources from different areas of knowledge, such as Law, Sociology and Architecture.
