JUVENTUDE NEGRA PERIFÉRICA E DIREITO À CIDADE: UM ESTUDO DE CASO

Abstract

This work seeks to reflect on urban planning alternatives, based on the perception of young black people on the outskirts communities of São João del Rei, MG. The study revealed that the urban experience of these subjects is quite restricted and violent, both on the outskirts and in the central areas of the city. However, despite the difficulties, the black youth on the outskirts resist through socio-cultural manifestations, mainly linked to Hip Hop. It is believed that a new type of planning is needed, in which these practices are recognized, in fact enabling the "right to the city" for these individuals.
