Abstract

This research analysed displacement and emplacement at São Paulo\'s downtown, alongside a context of urban regeneration and through tracking life trajectories. This journey unfolds over three chapters: urban interventions, displacements and resistance. At first, the research verifies the impact of a variety of urban plans and projects on popular territories, with further look on how these urban regenerations attempts have changed since the 1990\'s. This process has been happening since the 2000\'s and its landmark is the \"Nova Luz\" project. Since then, the popular territories at São Paulo\'s downtown have been a target to demolitions, dispossession and displacements. Therefore, the second chapter intends to systematize by which means territorial management has subjected people to permanent transience. The mechanisms identified mainly in the fieldwork are: evictions, police violence, neglect and bureaucracy, which largely contribute to undermine relations and arrangements that make life on these territories posible. In the final chapter, the focus is to identify practices mobilized as tools of resistance by the victims of dispossession. The emplacement at the downtown is a process based on alliances for housing, institutional dispute, survival and solidarity. Those alliances are essential to emplacement and to resistance on popular territories. (AU)
