The book explores the concept of the right to the city, emphasizing that merely providing housing to disadvantaged groups does not address deeper social issues. It critiques Brazil's Minha casa, Minha vida program, highlighting how it relocates poor families without improving infrastructure or public services. Using Juiz de Fora as a case study, the author argues that new housing developments have not alleviated social problems or fostered participatory citizenship, instead perpetuating the stigma of undesirable living conditions for the poor.
