The initial two quotes highlight the significance of class relations in shaping society, as well as the concept of the necessity for belonging. This dissertation examines the role of the city of Cajamar as a key logistic hub for the metropolitan region, given its proximity to the Anhanguera Highway. Beginning with the development of the concepts to be discussed, it is evident that the exploitation process of Cajamar has been ongoing since the arrival of the Brazilian Portland Cement Company in the 1920s, along with the Perus-Pirapora railway, which was crucial for transporting passengers and the company's products across the country. Over time, due to its geographical location, Cajamar has become the “Faria Lima” of logistic warehouses, attracting immigrants among others. The logistic sector established in the city benefited from local public policies, impacting social investments and aligning with the community's development aspirations. The study demonstrates how the logistic sector, boosted by high ecommerce rates, acts as a catalyst for regional development, enhancing the city's commerce and job creation for residents. However, the lack of fair compensation from companies leads to an imbalanced distribution in public policy formulation. Companies and investors achieve significant profits through tax benefits, perfect infrastructure, and low rent, while revenues for financing essential public services do not reach significant indicators, such as those intended for the road system, for example. With all these premises, it is unavoidable to acknowledge that companies contribute to urban progress through tax collection and local employment opportunities. Nevertheless, an analysis of budget laws and the majority of Municipal Decrees, now included in the annexes of this work, shows that the Public Administration promoted various expropriations for public utility purposes, aiming to meet the demand of the city's road sector, whether for the construction of avenues connecting the city center to the Anhanguera Highway or for the paving and widening of streets or roundabouts to alleviate the heavy traffic caused by the accumulation of cargo vehicles. The phenomenon studied is related to the gentrification process of areas previously dedicated to residential and rural zones, to the detriment of the right to the city and social policies. Thus, tax incentives and exemptions are applied to the large business mass, becoming an attraction for new interests and maintaining this vicious cycle
