Abstract

The research aims to identify the determinants of the phenomenon of obsolescence in the Centre of urban agglomerations. Based on the understanding of the transformation of land use, which we assume that can result in obsolescence, we seek to establish a link between aspects of social organization and the spatial conformation of the city, particularly the city of São Paulo, here taken as an antithetical case when compared to the cities of Shanghai and Guangzhou. To understand the processes of obsolescence and of urban renewal, especially where such processes are more intense, as to say in the core of urban agglomerations, emphasis shall be given to the forces that determine the production of space, mainly in what concerns the relation established between State and Market in regulating the urban land uses.
