Summary: This doctoral thesis aims to discuss the production of urban space through the
production of sewage infrastructure in the context of financialization that, among
other elements, is evidenced by the domination and appropriation by financial
agents of most of the wealth created by the productive sector and for an
economy that centers its objectives on profitability. In the meantime, the space
has gained prominence and has become the target of financial interests in
search of new earning possibilities both through the elements built in the space
and in the production of the space itself as a whole. We sought to understand
the production of urban space in Serra (ES) through the production of sanitary
sewage, in the form of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), considering the
significant changes that occurred in the municipality from the 2000s onwards,
above all, the development of the real estate market and the intensification of
the urbanization process that reconfigured the urban space of Serra. The
consolidation of the real estate sector resulted in a rentier logic of production in
the city that had repercussions on several levels, being the first municipality in
Espírito Santo to have a PPP for basic sanitation services, which until then was
operated by the state public company. It so happens that basic sanitation, more
specifically sanitary sewage, has been following new directions that directly
affect the production of space. The Federal Law 14.026, of July 15, 2020, which
updates the legal framework for basic sanitation, not only modifies the public
sanitation management structure in the national context, but also expands the
participation of the private sector in public sanitation, encouraging the
privatization of companies sanitation companies, the formation of PPPs and the
creation of various devices to access public incentives and funding. In this way,
this essential service for the population´s quality of life has become the newest
financial asset in the investment portfolios of these corporations. It is about
discussing the current mechanisms of income appropriation via production in
the form of PPP, as well as the consequent socio-spatial transformations
resulting from this way of producing the city.
Keywords: production of space; sanitation; sanitary sewage; financialization;
Public-Private Partnership.
