Cultural, geographical, and beadledom factors condition urban expansion, and analyzing their interaction allows us to understand the dynamics behind it. Great Brazilian cities showed peripheral expansion, in which ordinary citizens can only buy houses away from the center of cities; Impositions of the Master Plan law turns properties artificially to more expensive, leading the periphery to anarchism. Bureaucrats and politicians are not affected by market incentives that induce a lack of strategic planning and inadequate human and financial resources allocation. </p>}, journal={MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics}, author={Caetano, Norton and Bringhenti, Idone and Miranda, Edwards and Grumble, Leroy and Pinto, Evanice Almeida}, year={2021}, month={Aug.} }
