This research aims to study the (re) production of the urban space from the closed allotments. The premise is that this space, in the capitalist mode of production, becomes a commodity, having direct implication in the way the different social groups access the city. Access to the city is selective, that is, it is carried out by those who can pay for the commodity space, which means that mediation between citizen and city is made by private ownership of the land. Closed allotments are one of the ways in which private ownership of land presents itself in urban space. They are a type of commodity that associates with others, such as security, social isolation, and social prestige. The process of socio-spatial segregation that is expressed, through closed allotments, is the product and condition of a vicious cycle between social inequality, crime and violence, and securization. In order to understand how this specific process of (re) production of urban space takes place, the present research started with a concrete example, located in the city of Rio Claro, in the interior of the State of São Paulo, emphasizing the dimensions economic, social, juridical, and urban. Economic in relation to the process of transformation of a rural to urban area, meeting the demands of accumulation of real estate capital, rentier and financial. Social because it considered the implications that social isolation has on the inhabitants of the city. Juridical in the sense of pointing out the illegality in the closing of lots, and their real motives. And, finally, urban when presenting the deterioration of the public space, and loss of geographic identity of the city provoked by the closed allotments that tear the urban space with walls, grids, and security barriers
