Abstract

The subject of this work is the system of Organized and Active Recreation defended by the engineer-architect Luiz Ignácio Romeiro de Anhaia Mello for the city of São Paulo, on the beginning of the XX century. It analyses the insertion of this proposal of leisure in his urbanistic thought, highlighting its representativity for the political project of transforming the capital of the state into a more ¿humanized¿ city. It problematizes, also, the social implications aimed by Anhaia Mello, once this system of recreation was directed to the labour districts, on a tentative of educating the workers for the use of their ¿freetime¿. Through articles published in periodicals, between the twenties and the seventies, we focus his argument that the leisure was an important ally on the obtainment of ¿citizens useful to the nation¿, representing a favorable moment to the formation of a civic sense and to the valorization of the life in community (AU)
