RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to understand how the ideological and practical design of the revaluation of the urban center of Sao Paulo has been developed and materialized in space, thanks to the actions of the government in partnership with the private sector. And as an idealized scenario and desired by local elites permeates and pervades the urban planning of the state, serving the interests of landowners and developers. In contrast, social movements are fighting to defend the interests and needs of the community to maintain and stay in their territoriality, where space is configured as a field of dreams and struggles for the right to the city. The contradiction of the intended use of the Center of São Paulo is the conflict of interests between the capitalist agents producers of space and other low-income population. On one side are the agents and their strategies for capitalist transformation of the commodity space, speculating where the exchange value, causing the earth to generate income and profit. On the other side is the low income population, whose needs demand the use value, the right to dignity of housing, urban infrastructure, quality of public services, leisure and culture. The revaluation of the urban center of Sao Paulo is a process driven by agents of the space typically capitalist producers and the state, inspired by imported models, which aims to promote the upgrading of urban heritage built through urban interventions specific beautification and upgrading of old structures urban to the new economic order, in order to meet certain demands of customers with higher purchasing power in pursuit of specific and local solutions. New uses - tourism and culture - represent the dominant discourse on solutions for degraded and obsolete assets of many historical centers, bringing a new economic dynamism and social support for these regions in an attempt to reinsert them into the productive circuit of capital.
