Through the analysis of public-private interaction of the real estate sector in the city of
São Paulo, the article questions the main arguments in the literature, which defend the existence of systemic
predetermination of state capture. The article argues that the interference of real estate industry in land policy
is also related to the interests of the government and its bureaucracies and that the introduction of the everyday
layer of regulation allows us to analyze state regulation as a process in which tensions are constantly being
produced around instruments, practices, interpretations, and the production and circulation of information.
