Abstract

The present work aims to investigate the changes in the railway complex in the city of Campo Grande - MS, based on an analysis of the development of the city associated with the arrival of Noroeste do Brasil - NOB, as part of the process of capitalism expansion and the countryside modernization, understanding its urbanization as a result of this. In a second step, an analysis of the railroad as a reference of urban and collective memory was held, thus serving as \"resistance\" in the heritage valorization process. Finally, was sought to understand the railroad heritage while anchor in the cities valorization process, as part of a system of \"restructuring\" the contemporary capitalism. As a result, this work constitutes as a reflection regarding the relationship between heritage property preservation of a defunct railroad against the reintegration of old spaces in new urban contexts, pointing how pointing how contradictory is this relationship that often makes use of the speech of heritage to attract and generate the valorization of these old areas (AU)
