Cidades Planejadas e Imaginários

contrastes entre o planejamento urbano com a tríade cidade vista, marcada e imaginada

Abstract

This article, an integral part of an investigation guided by the theory of urban imaginaries (SILVA, 2001), arises from a concern with the work with the methodology of these imaginaries, which capture social perceptions about a certain city investigated through the triad - "city seen, marked city, imagined city”. In our case, we reflect more on this first perspective – “city seen”, since the transits of our investigation of urban imaginaries are located in two planned cities – Boa Vista, capital of Roraima and Brasília, capital of Brazil. Therefore, we intend to understand a little more about the motivations of an urban planning process, above all, the planning of the city of Boa Vista and, finally, to reflect on the relationship "planned city / city seen" and urban imaginaries.
