The paper returns us in its analysis of the structuring dynamics to the metropolis of Rio de Janeiro to the
circular nature of its root causes in the decade of the 70’s. The link-ups between residential segregation and
inequality as to standards of living/life in the metropolitan riverside are here considered in the light of the
impact on these issues consequent upon selfish social initiatives that appropriate the common weal available,
such selfishness here being seen to manifest itself in an unequal access to those collective goods and services
that constitute a standard of living/life coupled with an equally unfair sharing of the benefits accruing from hiked Real Estate values and the re-valuing of the best serviced lots. Thus considered, segregation and inequality are the inevitable and unending consequences of the power to do of the few and the control of the distributive mechanisms of this community of these same so fortunate.
