This article aims to discuss the production of urban space based on the influence of the mainsocial agents. One major characteristic of capitalist cities is the process of urban soilappropriation and production by means of strategies and actions developed by the severalstrengths of the capital (land, real-state, productive, financial). These are inter-relatedstrengths, which makes more difficult the understanding of the different agents’ actions andstrategies. Nevertheless, the main focus here is on the real-state capital, particularly, on real-state promoters, since they represent, side-by-side with the State, significant agents in theproduction of urban space and for the reproduction of the social structure. It is of theincorporation capital interest to accelerate the transaction activities in the real-state marketwith prices going up sporadically, which generates a raise in the budget installment for housing.This raise makes it more difficult for lower classes to have access to such indispensable need – one of the main requirements of the right to a city. Here, the theoretical reference used to theanalysis category is Real-state Capital.
