ANA CLARA DE SOUZA, PEREIRA  e  ITALO ITAMAR CAIXEIRO, STEPHAN. THE FORMATION OF THE URBAN SPACE OF CONSELHEIRO LAFAIETE, MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL. GOT [online]. 2022, n.24, pp.5-28.  Epub 31-Dez-2022. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2022.24.001.

This paper analyzes the space of the Brazilian municipality of Conlheiro Lafaiete, as a medium-sized city, in the period between 1970 and 2018. The research has a descriptive-exploratory character and was divided into five stages: theoretical basis, case study, document analysis, cartographic production and interviews. We found that the process of urban expansion in Conselheiro Lafaiete is marked by its consolidation as a service and commerce center in the region, with a strong presence in the real estate and civil construction sectors. However, there is no effective application of urban legislation; planning and supervision of the occupation of urban space become inefficient and give rise to spontaneous and disorderly growth. The consequences of these transformations reflect directly on the intra-urban space and on the phenomena linked to the modification of these spaces.
