The thesis critically examines the notion of socio-spatial justice within the complex structure of the Brazilian context, which is marked by sharp social, economic and ethnic-racial disparities that are strongly reflected in the urban spaces of its cities. The research delves into this discourse using Vila Cristiana as its focal point, a settlement located on the outskirts of Bauru, a city in the center-west of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Vila Cristiana is a community made up of approximately 180 families, who were relocated from the former "Nova Cana" settlement where they had been living informally since 2013. Although the municipal authorities granted them regularized land in 2019, the community faces significant challenges arising from the unsatisfactory conditions of their new location, marked by hazards such as health risks, landslides, water contamination, inadequate sewage systems and susceptibility to torrential rain and flooding.
