The nature in the social reproduction of a nook of the urban periphery of the city of São Paulo

Abstract

This article aims to understand the presence of the nature in the social reproduction of a nook of the urban periphery of the city of São Paulo. Therefore, we are methodologically supported by a theoretical discussion with authors who dialogue with the central theme of this text, and for an analysis about of the nature in the peripheral context of the Sol Nascente Residential Set in São Paulo through field work realization. Thereon, we found that even though it is expressive the local natural environment, linked to the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest, the Sol Nascente has been marked by sundry urban environmental problems that harm the daily of life constituted in neighborhood in question, among them the absence of drainage and treatment of the polluted/stagnant water in the streets of the Residential; becoming necessary and fair the construction of another form of sociability that takes care of the physical/social nature in the reality on screen and in other urban peripheries around the world, with the intention that it be preserved the reproduction of natural/human life in cities.
