RESUMO

This dissertation is a search to understand the relation between the worker and the city of São Paulo from 1900 to 1917. Noticeably, in the period, there is rapid population and geographical growth which enables the development of new districts in the capital of the state of São Paulo. In this the dissertation, we demonstrated that as the city developed a spacial segregation process was brought about, separating geographically into districts with distinet layouts the more popular classes (as the workers) and the São Paulo elite, represented mainly by the coffee grower and/or the industrial bourgeoisies. In this special segregation process the workers were circumscribed (such as asphalt and trees along services) in spite of the fact that they are the main city builders. From this starting point we attempt to understand what would be a questioring on this spacial segregation or rather, how and when the workers, as an organized movement "invaded" the city center. Analyzing the struggles against the high cost of living and strike in 1917, we notice that in periods of great social commotion the workers get to the city center and question this urban "order". Thus, we perceive that the geography of the workers in the city goes far beyond to simply localize them in the city. It also analyses the meaning of this special take over process.
