SUMMARY:

Urbanism emerged as a response to the increase in population in cities and the aspiration to project the city as a controllable macro-organism. From this perspective, it was traditionally understood as a discipline through which specialists in urban phenomena joined forces with public authorities to draw up plans for orderly growth for human settlements. Social dynamics and the rhythms of capital never followed these guidelines to the letter. The process of globalization and the rapid circulation of information after the internet have revealed once and for all the inefficiency of the strategic ideal. Especially in developing countries, like Brazil, where basic infrastructure is so problematic. In the absence of sanitation, lighting and paving, how can we demand a social and aesthetic vocation from public space? Faced with the imminence of urban and environmental chaos at the beginning of the 21st century, it is only natural for citizens to act on their own, in an attempt to resolve urgent demands. More than that, to implement initiatives that restore urban creativity, coexistence, community life and respect for differences. A socio-urbanistic reconsideration is necessary regarding the importance of the city's production, through the potential arising from the creativity of individuals as a tool for transforming their territories. This would probably lead technicians and managers to develop urban plans and public policies that are less fragmentary and more strategic, as space and its territories cannot be reduced just to a location, social relations of property ownership and exchange value – as they represent a series of multiplicities of psycho-socio-material concerns, urbanism, architecture and territories are physical locations, pieces of movable property and at the same time an existential freedom and a mental expression of the creative being and in the city that individuals and collectives inhabit creatively as poets. The objective of the research for the doctoral thesis is to analyze the new uses and creative occupations of used territories, through the creative spatial practices and tactical urbanisms of local public actors, such as graffiti artists, interveners in artistic occupations, body-art, creative place makers, practitioners of happenings, circuses and the most diverse actors and fields of urban art that contribute to renewal, urban animation and a new way of executing creative, strategic, socially fair and even more humanistic urban planning in the intra-urban space of Natal in contemporary times.
