RESUMO:

Natal/RN intensified and prioritized the use of cars, buses and trucks in the city in the mid-twentieth century. While the city grew together with rail networks (whether trains or trams) in the first half of the century, that conformed certain power relations over it, in the middle of the century, buses became the main mode of public transport for movement of people in the city. This research questions: How the organization of the city influenced the expansion and conformation of bus networks between 1950 and 1960? Considering that the buses expanded to already economically and politically consolidated spaces in other cities and that the city flows are the result of the social and economic order that composes it, it is hypothesized that the buses in Natal consolidated the concentration of flows in previously established centralities. Moreover, the implementation of a more flexible modal could allow new social articulations for the transformation of networks. In the context of the development of technical networks, changes and disputes for space and political articulations from the insertion of buses as public transport in Natal, the objective in this research is to understand the impact of the city's socio-spatial structure in the implementation and development of new transport systems. For this, were used newspaper and legislative documents to identify and analyze the articulations of urban actors and agents on the conformation of the circulation networks, to identify the political arguments and discourses that influenced these performances, the spatial aspect and the materialization of these conflicts in the technical network. As a partial result, in this process, the State appears as an articulator, mediator of social tensions and promoter of transport routes. At the same time, private agents intended to dispute these networks and these disputes consolidated certain spaces to the detriment of others.
