Abstract
This thesis aims to analyze the expansion of the city of Salvador / BA and the modeling
agents of urban space, at the vector axis of Avenida Paralela (Salvador/BA), as is
known the Avenida Luis Viana Filho, between 1968 and 2013. The methodology
consisted of quantitative research, based on concepts and theories from the analysis of
the dynamics of implementation of projects along this avenue, based on the survey data
contained in building permits issued by the city administration of Salvador and census
data of IBGE (2010), which were translated into thematic maps, tables and graphs. The
information obtained was subsequently crossed with aerial photos, and confronted by
field research in the study area. The hypothesis that sought to prove was that this
territory has been characterized as an expansion axis of Salvador and, as it was
conceived at the very beginning, as a link between Salvador and other cities of the
metropolitan region. Subsequently acting as a point of connection between the ventures
deployed there, it has been remodeled to get back to it’s original function. In brief,
spatial transformations that occurred in the city were rebuilt as a whole, and in this
location more specifically, dating back to the construction of this avenue in the 1970s
and the repercussions on the territory historically contextualized. As a result, the
hypothesis raised was confirmed by the action of social agents in the urbanized vector
intending the production of new urban spaces. With this present work, one looks foward
to enrich and awaken interest in the production of new studies and/or interventions in
this area of town, though little investigation was found about it in the academic area.
