CREATIVE DESTRUCTION AGAINST THE SOUTH COMERCIAL SECTOR IN BRASILIA

Abstract

It addresses, from the perspective of creative destruction in its neoliberal version and an attack on the right to the city, the attempt to insert housing use in the Commercial Sector of Southern Brasília. To this end: it decouples the draft of a complementary law project presented by the Federal District Government, submitted to the scrutiny of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute, which in turn suspended the respective pre-legislative process by demanding further details, without discarding a subsequent favorable final judgment; presents concepts and instruments of registration that prevent residences in the central sectors (the gregarious scale); analyzes the respective opinion of the Institute in the light of false factual premises, argumentative fallacies and contemporary theoretical criticism of the neoliberal system. It exposes the risks to the population of the sector (non-resident), to cultural activities and to the public good embodied in cultural heritage, highlighting the importance of popular occupation of the Street.
