From this compound with present and the past shapes, occur the social and spatial reality of Petrópolis. This proposition constitutes as a territorial history as by this way the space cannot be understood without an investigation of its origin and development, and neither the territory must be seen without a link of the historical relationship between the society and this same space. The urbanization of Petrópolis nowadays is based in the tourism; so it has been necessary an investigation about the past urbanization determinated by the summer resort without forgiven the industrial activity. Here the summer resort has been judjed as a class different from tourism. By the way, Petrópolis was planned and built as a suburban capital of the Second Monarchy, and before it was absorbed by the Republic. Petrópolis was demarcated as kind of power field an urban space built as a territory, a space determinated by power relations delimitated by history: a conquested space, distinguished and denominated by the brazilian elite group that tried to demarcarcate the way of the urban space regency of Petrópolis. The history of this territory seems demonstrate a continual line of territoriality focalized exterior determinations. If the summer resorts and the industry have given in the past the outside look of the urban order of Petrópolis, today, with tourism, the exterior fact remains through the reconquer of land done by the local coalition managed by the public power.
