The effects of migration and socio-spatial segregation in the modification of the space of the Metropolitan Area of Campinas, Brazil, in 2000s

The aim of this paper is to describe the process of socio-spatial segregation in the 2000s and the most important changes comparing to the past decade, using as a case study the metropolitan area of Campinas, state of São Paulo, Brazil. In the context of decline of demographic growth, migration and the new forms of occupation of the space, as seen in the Brazilian big cities, this metropolitan area looks like to have modified its characteristics in this period of time. The municipalities with more growth in 2000s were those with better conditions. In this way, we propose not only to present these changes, but also analyze the role of migration and the characteristics of the people who redistribute themselves inside the metropolitan space. In order to do that, we will use mainly the Brazilian demographic census of 2010, comparing the results with the analysis of the census of 2000. We also hope to determinate if the space, in terms of place of residence, has a strong impact over the insertion of people in the labor market.
