SUMMARY:

The research investigates the (re)naming of public places in the city of João Pessoa, PB, between the early 19th century and 1930, understanding urban toponymy as a symbolic expression of the political, social, and spatial transformations of the capital of Paraíba. It is based on the premise that (re)naming public spaces reflects memory disputes, worldviews, and values contested over time. The investigation is structured in four stages: theoretical foundation, documentary research, data analysis, and final writing. Research sources such as decrees, historical maps, newspapers, and official records are used, along with techniques such as cartographic analysis, toponymic categorization, and critical interpretation. The study seeks to understand how these naming practices reflect processes of urban modernization, socio-spatial stratification and the construction of collective memory. The methodology articulates contributions from urban history, toponymic studies, and humanistic geography. By analyzing the symbolic layers inscribed in street names, the study offers a critical reading of the city as a historical and social construction, revealing the tensions between tradition and modernity, between institutional power and popular memories that also shape the urban space.
