Abstract

This article shows the morphogenesis and development of the District of Santa Ifigênia, in São Paulo (Brazil), and links it to the formation of urban functions. We intend to verify the correlation found between the functional specialisation of urban areas and the morphological transformations of the neighborhood. We have used historical maps of the city of São Paulo that dates back to 1765 and end up in our days, with the latest Digital Mapping of the City, from 2004. The observations indicate that there is a consistent relationship between topography and morphological stability of an urban tissue and the establishment of retail activities on it.
