RESUMO:

In this work, I investigated how the various actors in the city have articulated themselves,

sometimes establishing power relationships, to have their interests contemplated in the citymaking

around and from on the first stage of the reforms carried out by Salvadors’s City

Government on Rio Vermelho’s shore, which were started in July 2015. With this analysis, I

sought to identify possible paths towards more equal and democratic cities. I understand citymaking

as the movements and the results of the movements of the various urban actors,

human and non-human, who continually (re)conform the spaces of the city. I propose that

power relations in the city-making correspond to the actions (movements) of actors that aim to

inhibit movements of other actors in the urban spaces as well as the constant

(re)conformations of the urban spaces that also inhibit movements of some actors. I mainly

used the propositions of Agier, Ingold, Foucault, Latour, Esposito and Lefebvre to reflect on

the city-making and the power relations that are established there. In order to better situate the

data obtained in the empirical field of the research, I traced a panorama of the city-making that

took place in contemporary public spaces, which allowed me to verify, in such public spaces,

the use of neoliberal principles to guide the city-making for and by the market and the

resistances which were established against this orientation and which have tryed to expand

the right to the city. To carry out the fieldwork, I used techniques and instruments which are

commonly used in ethnography – such as direct contact with the field, participant observation,

notes in the field notebook, recorded conversations, photographs, reading newspaper news

and other documents, so that I have composed, in the text, an ethnographic inspiration

description of urban transformations – in this case, the reform of Rio Vermelho’s shore and

some episodes that followed it. I followed collectives that were mobilized around the reform of

Barra's shore, which preceded the reform of Rio Vermelho’s shore and which influenced it

significantly. I followed collectives that were mobilized around the reform of Rio Vermelho’s

shore and the negotiations established to modify the reform projects in order to contemplate

the interests of some actors. I analyzed the city-making instituted in the reconfiguration of the

formal aspects and of the materiality of environments after the inauguration of the first stage

of the reform, with eventual establishments of power relations. I observed collectives that were

mobilized after the inauguration of the first stage of the reform, bringing new outlines to the

city-making, with occasional establishments of power relations. The research allowed me to

suggest some attitudes to be maintained, with regard to the work of architects, urban planners,

public managers, as well as with regard to the actions of collectives and other urban

movements, to go towards better cities for all. The research also allowed me to verify that the

neoliberal urban project will never be fully realized – which does not diminish its perverse

character – and that the right to the city is not fully and comprehensively possible in the city

we know; such verification should not weaken, but should invigorate the need to invent new

cities in which democracy and equity are the rule.
