The historical process of socio-spatial (dis)organization and the dynamics of the Paulista Macrometropolis (MMP) present a great diversity of situations of urban environmental risks, understood as “dysfunctions” with the potential to generate processes that cause loss and damage to people, surrounding goods and infrastructures. The social construction of risks, linked to the unsustainable management of the urban environment, has, on its most perverse face, the proliferation and perpetuation of vulnerable groups situations of exclusion, victims of socio-spatial segregation that restrict the poorest populations to valley floors, floodplains and the steepest slopes. Therefore, we propose a review of the relationship between the
physical environment and infrastructure on urban management and the territorialization of socio-spatial conflicts related to environmental justice, considering the complexity of the MMP and the municipal disparities.
