Abstract

Geographical scales are important in Geography as they allow a hierarchical analysis of facts through a critical view of a social and political nature. Faced with an intense spatial modification carried out by the capitalist system, they appear as a possibility of understanding these contradictory relationships established by capital. To verify this reflection, we can use the implementation of public policies in medium-sized cities, which have a significant importance in the production of their urban space, in addition to enabling a spatio-temporal analysis to understand how these vertical policies have a direct influence on the production and modification of this space, using the idea of scalar analysis. This is what we will show in this article when analyzing Presidente Prudente/SP, with its housing production that produces urban space, allocating city and city dwellers in the most varied spaces. Through an analysis of their housing context at a historical level and a visual representation of the collected data, we can see that it is possible to produce cities from vertical decisions through public policies, revealed by the geographic scalar analysis.
