The general objective of this research was to analyze the processes of expansion of the real estate market with an emphasis on verticalization in Belém and its repercussions on the (re) production of social and spatial segregation, which was developed in the following specific objectives: Identify the levels of expansion of the real estate market from Of social and economic factors determining different levels of socio-spatial segregation in Belém; Analyze the logic of the real estate market in the city of Belém and the production of segregative processes and socio-spatial inequalities, with emphasis on the (re) configuration of verticalization; Analyze from socio-spatial indicators, conditioning processes of the relationship between trends in real estate verticalization and the pattern of urban segregation in Belém, contextualizing the socio-historical and economic particularities of the Amazon, which determine this relationship. In order to achieve these objectives, I opted for a methodology that would allow the object to be unraveled with a quantitative approach, through socio-spatial indicators constructed from the elaboration of four (4) databases, whose intersection resulted in the construction of 34 urban socio-spatial indicative indicators of the process of verticalization and socio-spatial segregation in the city of Belém. The option for the dialectic approach was the possibility of analyzing the object of research in a methodological perspective of totality, based on the main works produced by social scientists of the French Sociological School, in addition to American Sociology Contemporary studies that develop studies on the relation between the State and capitalist urbanization, as well as contemporary Brazilian authors, who take as object of investigation the city and the processes of urban and regional development planning. The analysis of the research results point out that the occupation of the urban space in Belém by verticalization deepens the socio-spatial segregation, consequently, the unequal appropriation of the urban land by the capital in detriment of the working class, finally inserts the housing in the logic of the financial capital. The occurrence of the relationship between the reproduction of segregation from verticalization not only reinforces segregation, but also induces the State to contribute to its deepening, when in different spaces of the city it foments verticalization tendencies concentrated in the segments of high income, guaranteeing the Supply of urban infrastructure in areas coveted by the real estate market.
