Abstract

The present research project aims at the creation of a theoretical and methodological corpus that allows to raise the question of the cultural heritage preservation and specially the built heritage of the cities of the Metropolitan Area of Campinas. The built heritage is comprised of the urban and architectonic dimension of the territory, therefore are built elements the public spaces (streets, sidewalks, squares, etc), the buildings, the urban equipments and other elements that contribute for the development of the daily social practices of the inhabitants. The urbanistic discussion contained in the preservation questions will be privileged as part of the general discussion about the urban policies implemented in the cities. The result expected is to be able to make a comparative analysis among the cities from the obtained results that allow the definition of parameters to preserve them, besides the deeper knowledge of the nature of the heritage of the cities of the Metropolitan Area of Campinas, which will certainly be a by product of the research.
