RESUMO

Since the end of the Empire to the early years of the Republic, Brazil has undergone transformations that have marked definitively its cities. More than the replacement of a political regime on the other, it was also a period of transition from an economy based on slavery to another capitalist, based on free work, where immigrant workmanship was fundamental. The city of São Paulo, which was the centre of commerce and a rising industry, became the focus of human attraction. The flow of immigrant workmanship and ex-slaves into the city resulted in the significant growth of population and the need for new homes, with the consequent occupation of the areas adjacent to the centre of the city. The purpose of this study is to examine the process of formation of Bexigas district as one of the occupied areas between the last decades of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, since the time of the ancient farm of Antonio José Leite Braga which is still in the Empire passing to its dismemberment in commercialy viable lots, its sale and the construction of homes and, eventually, its occupation by different people until it became a Republic. The main objective is to analyse the mechanisms of production of urban areas by the private sector, the main social actors involved, as well as the strategies of public power to organize the division of the land and the construction of homes, through urban and sanitary legislation.
