Descrição
After 1950 some economic and political transformations occurred, influencing in the urbanization process of the city of Salvador/BA. These changes provoked some important changes in the urban structure, such as the redefinition of the time-space relationship and the introduction of new equipments, marking the start of urban and city restructuration. The process was produced by the State, among with other agents, and its consequences demonstrate the formation of a new characteristic of the urban structure, understood as the multi(poly)centralité. The current centers are differentiated by the amount and by the interests of the social groups. The olds centers and oters centers had gone through a process of change in its characteristics. The new centers are related to the materiality of the current urban logic and its influences in the city. Due to the social inequality and the high value of the urban ground, the access to market spaces translates conflicts and group interests.||A partir da metade do século XX, ocorreram transformações políticas e econômicas que influenciaram a urbanização, consequentemente, a produção do espaço urbano em Salvador/BA. Essas mudanças provocaram alterações em sua estrutura urbana, sendo as mais importantes: a constituição de novas relações tempo-espaço, a implantação de hodiernos equipamentos e a redefinição na centralidade urbana, marcando o início do processo de reestruturação urbana e da cidade. Como consequência, atualmente, Salvador apresenta uma estrutura urbana poli(multi) nucleada. Por um lado, esse fenômeno revela a formação de novas áreas centrais, ou seja, “eclodiu” uma multiplicidade de centros e subcentros na cidade; por outro, percebe-se que esses espaços são bastante diferenciados entre si, mormente, no que tange às características sociais e econômicas, por isso também verificamos sua face poli. A constituição dessa nova lógica na centralidade soteropolitana revela nuances diferenciadas nos conflitos e interesses na cidade, que entendemos interferir no processo de produção e reprodução do espaço urbano, sobretudo no que tange à produção de espaços destinados ao consumo.
Abstract
THE RESTRUCTURATION OF THE CITY OF SALVADOR: CONFLICTS AND INTERESTS IN THE URBAN CENTRALITY LOGIC
After 1950 some economic and political transformations occurred, influencing in the urbanization process of the city of Salvador/BA. These changes provoked some important changes in the urban structure, such as the redefinition of the time-space relationship and the introduction of new equipments, marking the start of urban and city restructuration. The process was produced by the State, among with other agents, and its consequences demonstrate the formation of a new characteristic of the urban structure, understood as the multi(poly)centralité. The current centers are differentiated by the amount and by the interests of the social groups. The olds centers and oters centers had gone through a process of change in its characteristics. The new centers are related to the materiality of the current urban logic and its influences in the city. Due to the social inequality and the high value of the urban ground, the access to market spaces translates conflicts and group interests.
