Movimentos urbanos de resistência em bairros com relevante patrimônio histórico e socioculturalum estudo de caso sobre o Bixiga, em São Paulo

Resumo

The right to the city is one of the rights provided for in the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988. It can also be understood in the light of the work by Lefebvre, in which it manifests itself as the right to freedom, to habitat and to inhabit, to the oeuvre and to appropriation. This is the counterpoint to the traditional city, which has been widely covered in literature, and which, following the industrialization process, has assumed a basically economic character based on the logic of the concentration and accumulation of capital. It is in such a context that urban movements in Latin America have played an important role in resisting this logic and claiming the right to the city; the Squatters and Tenants Movement (MOI), which is engaged in a struggle to occupy the center of Buenos Aires on behalf of the underclass, is an example of this. But there is also an opportunity in the city of São Paulo to analyze how these movements are linked and what strategies are adopted by community leaders to counter the concentration and accumulation logic and claim the right to the city in neighborhoods that have an important historical and sociocultural heritage. This is the study objective of this work. To understand this context a case study was undertaken that had as its subject the Bixiga neighborhood, which is located in the center of the city of São Paulo. As shown throughout this work, this particular neighborhood contains a representative part of the city’s listed heritage, has a large and dense population, including those who live in popular housing, and is experiencing a growing increase in real estate launches and a context of disputes involving community leaders who are active and committed to defending the interests of the population that lives in the area. The research comprised 16 in-depth interviews with leaders from Bixiga, document analysis and field observation, which took place by way of participation in interaction flows and integration with the community. The strategies being adopted by community leaders in the area were identified and systematized. Understanding these strategies extends beyond the case here studied, and contributes to understanding how urban movements that question and demand the right to the city are articulated, and to future studies.
