Para tal investida, a análise partiu do estudo dos fundamentos ideológicos do processo. A conclusão foi a de que as transformações de Vitória foram dominadas pelos interesses ligados à instância mercantil exportadora do capital em detrimento da construção de um projeto coletivo de cidade; e que essa fração do capital se alimentou ideologicamente do signo do moderno para a construção de um projeto de classe, orientado para a via do desenvolvimento comercial, que propôs a produção do moderno por meio da ruptura com o passado colonial da cidade. A perspectiva de análise buscou compreender a produção da modernidade urbana enquanto produção do espaço, e, nessa tarefa, investigar os fundamentos ideológicos que participaram do processo de construção da cidade.

This article investigates the modernity in the construction of the city of Vitoria in the passage from the nineteenth century to the twentieth century, in which the State acted as the main promoter of this task . For this purpose, the analysis was based on the study of the ideological foundations of the process. The conclusion was that the transformations of Vitória were dominated by the interests linked to the mercantile-exporting instance of capital, to the detriment of the construction of a collective city project; and that this fraction of capital was ideologically nourished by the sign of the modern for the construction of a class project, oriented towards commercial development, which proposed the production of the modern through a rupture with the colonial past of the city.
