Résumé

Since the late 1970s, new forms of urbanization have been created in Brazil and are characterized as high-standing and accessible architectural structures that are normally located in areas far from the city center. These new forms increase urban social and spatial segregation, creating "fortified enclaves", also known as condominiums. They disperse urban settlement and isolate residents from the actual city. Considering these aspects, this article aims to study the growth of urban sprawl in the Region Valley of Paraíba River, which connects the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, predominantly condominiums. We assume these condominiums are not homogenous in terms of characteristics and process of emergence. These new forms of urbanization are consequences of the process of decentralization of the São Paulo Metropolitan Area’s economic activities.
