Abstract

The cities are dynamic, therefore, your space is constantly changing to adapt the new urban realities and the news proposals of organization spatial. In Brazil, after the approval of the articles 182 and 183 of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Statute of the City, in 2001, news values guided the elaboration of plans directors; those plans became obligatory for the Brazilian cities with more than twenty thousand habitants. Through this study, I tried understand the process of transformation of the city of Uberlândia/MG, during the period from 1950 to 2010, which was marked by many proposals of planning. My objective was investigated when started the preoccupation with the organization spatial through of urban plans. The analysis of the plans directors of 1954 and 1994 contributed to us understand that the proposals exposed - at the time were implemented rarely benefit the population, because your participation in this process was very small. The emphasis given to the progress and the investment in modernization project materialized through actions developed to organize the urbanization and sanitation, the installation of industries, the transport system, creating another image of the city, where everything that represented the "delay" needed to give space to the "new". The changes also occurred in their habits and customs of the people who tried adapt according to the requirements of the new times. Therefore, was essential problematize the role of the social subjects, the uses that they does of the Center of the city and the speeches about the notion of progress that were built by the dominant class with views to inculcate in the population the ideals of modernity, progress and civility. Thereby of this analysis, I sought understanding how the practice of planning has contributed to the solution and/or maintenance of inequalities socio-spatial the urban structure of Uberlândia, giving emphasis to the center of the city.
