The construction of social rights in Brazil which began in 1988 is still subjected to an inconclusive welfare state. Although during the Workers’ Party government it was possible to address the “social question” (Proni, 2017) with more emphasis, the fragility of such achievements prevents its perenniality. In this sense, even if urban mobility and housing – essential conditions for people’ freedom and well-being – are agendas of the Constitution, they are still challenging and not fully solved. Therefore, in this text I aim to indicate and characterize aporophobia as one of the critical social symptoms of a welfare state not fulfilled; and then, I intend to highlight and analyze examples of aporophobia in some urban landscapes, taking into account three different perceived events.
