Abstract

This article pretends to explore some aspects of the conceptual and institutional process of construction of Urban Right in Brazil, discussing the context of juridical effective possibilities and concrete urban management political-institutional practices. At the same time, it attempts to establish a critical reflection about the process of production of urban laws, as well as their relationship with the social production of urban illegality. It is conclude that the approval of the City Statute in 2001 has contributed to consolidate the constitutional order in relation to the juridical control of urban development, with the objective of re-orient the public power action, the real state market and the society, in agreement with new urban, economic, social and environmental considerations.
