The hypothesis from neighborhood effects don’t presuppose a deterministic action from space to social relationships, but explores the interrelationships between spatial characteristics (such as urban infrastructure, neighborhood characteristics, public services offer) and the characteristics of social groups (profile of the group and nature of internal and external interactions). This article has as aim to discuss the possible neighborhood effect about the relationship between groups socially distant, through data from a fieldwork on a slum in Belo Horizonte, called Aglomerado da Serra, that has high and medium-income neighbors. From such case, we intend to arise the main questions around the theme and investigate if physic closeness can result in positive or negative effects to these populations and the nature of social interactions between district and slum dwellers.

of racial income inequality
What is the income gap between blacks and
whites within the same metropolitan region?
What variable puts individuals in greatest
disadvantage: skin color or place of residence?
Should mitigating policies against inequality
be global or local? To answer these questions
we compare the wages of blacks and whites
living in the center and in the periphery of six
Brazilian metropolitan regions. Results from the
PNAD (2008) show that the impact of skin color
on wages is larger than that of the geographic
location within the city. We also show that there
is substantial spatial heterogeneity in income
differentials by race.
