Persistências da forma urbana: um estudo morfológico sobre o Eixo Maruípe

Abstract

In this article, which derives from the PhD research under development at the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (São Paulo), it is proposed to present the thesis reasoning structure, detailing the main theoretical aspects that support the construction (and verification) of the hypotheses and partial results obtained. This article is organized in two parts. In the first part, will be presented seminal authors referring to the suggested theme, traversing European and Latin American examples. In the second part the empirical object will be presented along with a part of the research in progress. The research data will be worked in a regressive time line, traversing the Brazilian historical periods of the Republic, Empire and Colony, in which documental cartographic and textual sources are analyzed.
