Abstract

This project aims to justify a 12-month PhD research internship in Madrid (Spain). The objective is to carry out documentary research on archival collections that will enable a relational approach between the urbanizations of Madrid and São Paulo, as well to deepen the readings about the modernization of western cities in the late nineteenth century, through the dialogue with the supervisor and the co-supervisor and the bibliography that can be accessed at the receiving institution abroad - that is a internacional reference center in the area of urbanism.
