RESUMO:

During the first decades of the twentieth century, in Natal, several technical networks were consolidated, among them, public transportation, like the trolley lines. The city also expanded its routes - and thus its urban land supply – because of the foundation of new neighborhoods and later intervention plans, opening new streets and redefining urban boundaries. This modernization process revealed different articulators of the urban production, which intervened on the definition of urban planning legislation during the Old Republic (1889-1930). These individuals, or groups of individuals, acted through the development of urban areas, as holders of the useful domain of large fractions of land in the capital of the state. In this context, the question arises: in which way is the structuring of the roads network and urban transport related to the process of concentration of land tenure in Natal in this period? We start from the hypothesis that these structures contributed to the materialization of land concentration patterns, through the action of several social agents - mostly, from the political and commercial-mercantile spheres - regularized by urban planning legislation. That is, these patterns were intrinsically related to the dynamic configuration of the road network and urban transport. The main objective of this analysis is to understand the role played by road technical networks in the constitution of the emerging urban land structure. The aim is to contribute not only to a historical perspective, but also to the understanding of the contemporary city, mapping the forms of urban structure favored by the historical process and its continuities. It was also sought to deepen the study of the gears and strategies used by the various agents. We used as primary sources of information the Letters of Empowerment of the Municipality of Natal (1903-1930), Acts, Decrees and Messages of the Government of the Province and of the State, Reports and Resolutions of the Municipality of Natal and the Almanak Laemmert, moreover the cartography from that time. The results of the research allowed the construction of a periodization that evidences definitions in the road as determinants of the first disposition of land tenure patterns. Subsequently, these standards attract investment in transport infrastructure and paving. Consequently, this attraction establishes differentiated valuations in the different urban fractions, which, in turn, capture new investments. In this way, this relationship is dialectical, cyclical and goes over time defining hierarchical values of access to land in the intra-urban context. The process of defining urban legislation, intermunicipal limits and the emphiteusis, allowed political agents, linked to mercantile-commercial capital, to increase their investments in the acquisition of a useful domain of large parcels of land in the municipality of Natal. The concentration of these patterns of large areas (over 1 hectare) along the study cut (1892-1930) showed that at the beginning of the 1930s, about 22% of the area of Natal's territorial heritage (3,000 hectares) had been granted in emphiteusis.
