I am interested in issues of territorial planning and development in small cities and districts. I am developing studies on territorial planning, hybrid territories, rural and urban influence in small towns, urban morphology, cultural and social aspects, smart and sustainable cities, among others.

Spatial planning and urban development

The hybrid territory can be understood as a space that allows rural and urban social relations and spatialization to take place. In this sense, there is an overlap between what can be identified as a rural way of life over a geographic spatiality called urban. With this, another socio-spatial dimension is configured. About the specific objectives, the following stand out: i) the debate on the hybrid territory category, revealing the social and spatial articulations that materialize in the district community; ii) study the historical aspects that allowed the hybrid configuration of the community; iii) analyze the relationships between rural and urban, and finally, iv) evaluate the degree of rurality and urbanity of the district community under study.
