The sense of urban insecurity is not an isolated fact. The modification of the pattern of housing and habitation has consolidated urban spaces devoid of vitality. Daily exposure to fear of violence contributes to the process of urban segregation. In Brazil, individual solutions to collective problems are intensified. We point to the growing number of vertical residential condominiums in the city and self-segregation process, where the real estate market to sell the desired "quality of life" builds controlled spaces with high walls, cameras and electric fences. However these elements have real reflections in the space of the city. From the literature we see that desertification of urban space is one of the key factors in the perception of insecurity, because space loses attractiveness, and people attract people, which generates the desired urban vitality. Some aspects that corroborate for urban desertification have origins in architecture. All these negative aspects are understood as lack of civility. Urbanity is characteristic of the architecture of the city, proper to the relationship between space and people. The condition of urbanity will therefore be in the way the city welcomes and receives people, the body. When there is urbanity there tends to be vitality. In the same way, when architecture takes on limiting forms: visual, physical and social, this architecture is hostile. The debate is thus addressed to the question of human scale which returns the discursion to the space of vertical residential condominiums, which by the neoliberal management of urbanism allows to build a public space in a private, closed to the city and denying the street. Thus we understand hostile architecture as an active element in the feedback of the perception of the sense of urban insecurity, as it limits and conditions the experience of urban space between equals, and produces "extramural" arid, impermeable, disproportionate spaces on a human scale. For research, the neighborhood of Espinheiro, in the city of Recife, was studied because it was the neighborhood that most verticalized in the city within the study cut, being modifier of the standard of the dwelling and the way of inhabiting.
