Based on the particular circumstances of the southwest region of São Paulo, this article discusses conflicts related to the social production of urban space, describing and analyzing three events in the slums located in this region. These events, treated as descriptive scenes, include: the purchase by a builder of 70 homes located in the Jardim Panorama shantytown; an eviction taking place in the Real Parque shantytown; and an uprising in the Paraisópolis shantytown. By analyzing these events, we infer that the process of evicting the poor from this region is primarily through economic coercion, made possible by the gradual process of privatization of urban management. This process is consolidated by both legality and illegality on the part of the government, the difficulty of publicizing the demands by the poorer population and the transformation of these sectors in the consumer markets.
