| Abstract | |
Based on the current developments in the practice of housing movements in the city center of São Paulo, this research intends to discuss the ways of spatialization of these struggles, with regard to increasing the understanding of the achievements effected by these movements. For that, this work took the opposite direction to the thesis of the central region loss of vitality, which amid the recent urban intervention processes, demonstrated in the detection of ambiguities and urban crossroads, social and policies, the emergence of a new cycle of conflicts. Beyond from the issues related to the major axes of gentrification and eviction of the poorest layers of the city center, the context studied revealed functional situations of visibility and invisibility of the central urban problems. The empirical research has met resistance processes and new relationship and negotiation ways between the actors, in a context of the political emptying and of the possibilities of experience. The relation among all the actors in the constitution of the urban space reveals changes and disputes fraught with contradictions and lack of distinction - not paradoxical - which shows structuring relations and, at the same time of resistance.
