The main objective of this discussion is to contribute to the theoretical understanding of the peculiarities of the processes of urbanization and industrial accumulation in the construction to emphasize that non-capitalist relations are at the root of capitalist production of urban space, and that historical persistence of such relations combined with capitalist relations served both to overexploitation and to the survival of workers. Currently, this area of the city is essential for the survival of capitalism, guaranteeing high profits through ground rent and interest rates.
