| Abstract | |
The objective of this study is to cover the development of a policy of urbanization through an analysis of urban creation initiatives undertaken in the captaincy of São Paulo between 1765 and 1811, with special emphasis on the period of the administration of the Morgado de Mateus (1765-1775). The establishment of villages and settlements is considered to be the main factor in the restructuring of this territory, in the context of the assertion of Portuguese sovereignty in South America. The analysis focuses on the manner in which the directives issued by the royal authority attempted to control the transformation of the territory and the production of urban formations. At the sametime, the study intends to show that local customs, experience and dynamics were determining factors in the definition of the policy of urbanization. During the development of this thesis, written documents and images pertaining to creation initiatives for urban areas in São Paulo were researched, as well as previous studies on similar topics, in an attempt to identify possible links between the demands and circumstances presented in each situation and the guidelines imposed by the administration of the captaincy. Thus, this urbanization policy is dealt with as a process developed within a context of conflict rather than as the product of a pre-defined project created by metropolitan authorities. (AU) | |
