Abstract

The text presents some reflections and results of a work about the South Region of Brazil under the project “Characterization and Trends of the Urban Net in Brazil” (supported by a contract with IPEA, IBGE, NESUR/IE/UNICAMP and IPARDES). It discusses the contradictory effects of the economic and demographic growth upon the urban environment in big and medium sized cities. The benefits cities may offer to their population are directly correlated with the capacity to access elements necessary to improve the quality of life: income, services, urban equipments, health and education. Under this perspective, the text analyses three main indicators that describe the urbanization quality - income, education and housing– in three Brazilian Southern States. These indicators show the existence of an urbanization pattern that on average promotes a poor quality of urban life.
