The idea of the informal is commonly assimilated to its opposite. The informality has been understood as diametrically opposed to what is formal and, in the urban studies, this antagonism is used a discursive strategy for intervention in the territory. Generally associated with poverty, urban informality is verifiable in Brazilian historiography, on the one hand, as a housing alternative, against the ineffectiveness of social housing, in the process of Brazilian industrialization/urbanization; on the other hand, as justification for major urban transformation by the logic of capitalism. Once you see urban regulations as the element that breaks up the porous membrane between “the formal” and “the informal” in urban territory, the Special Zones of Social Interest (ZEIS, in Brazil) are the result of the popular struggle for the legitimacy of informal settlements within formal urban planning. From the analysis of ZEIS, of its effectiveness as a legal and spatial instrument, it was possible to understand how the State thinks the urban informality, articulated to the city planning. In São Paulo, in the context of peripheral capitalism, the choice of region of Itaquera as case study it’s because its territory shows the recent transformations in the structuring logic of the city and a model of space production where urban informality is more a rule than an exception
