In 2020, the discussion about housing and the housing rights gains strength in the context of the global pandemic given the needs of social isolation, which affects different social groups across the globe in many ways, highlighting socio-spatial inequalities that permeate society, based on the capitalist production mode translating into housing access inequalities. At the regional level, it is worth to note that urban space and the cities in the Amazon, while in 21st century, have been undergoing deep transformations associated with determinations inherent to the capital propagation in the urban-regional space, the advancement of new economic agents, the extensive territory urbanization permeated by elements that have contributed to the production of socio-spatial inequalities. Amidst the interpretation of these processes it is essential to consider the participation of the State in the ‘territory urbanization’ production and its influence on the constitution of the current Amazon urban network. On a local scale, the Tucuruí city stands out, which underwent a high demographic growth from the period of construction of the UHT and presents itself as a fertile soil for study, taking into account the particularities and diversities of the Brazilian and Amazonian urban space. Thus, this research is based on the premise that the housing production within the urban space scope constitutes a focus and indicator to capture the dynamics, shapes and processes of Socio-spatial Inequalities. In this regard, this dissertation aims to show how the issue of housing and housing rights are spatialized in the Tucuruí city, especially in the period from 2000 to 2020. And referring to the aforementioned period, it is necessary to highlight that this is constituted a 'clipping' and as such is part of a historical-geographic 'whole', which cannot be studied in an isolated and stagnated manner. The cut helps in the development of the research and the formulation of its problems, in order to enable a clearer focus on the processes to be unveiled, taking as quidelines the historical and dialectical materialism and its perspective on reality. The pandemic scenario made field research impracticable, so the search for primary data was carried out through semi-structured interviews, remote application of questionnaires, both over the phone and through instant messaging platforms and e-mai along with the use of tools such as Google Earth Pro, ArcGis 10.1, QGIS. 2.18.20 for the elaboration of cartographic products and treatment of the collected data, in order to demonstrate the materiality of the distribution and accessibility of goods and services to capture the conditions of spatial injustice, as well as the Sociospatial Inequalities present in the current Tucuruí urban space.
