SUMMARY:

This thesis assumes that cities transform. This transformation produces new realities and redefines urban space, which can be evaluated as an improvement or not. With regard to areas with previously defined uses, such as housing complexes, we observed the transformation of their residences, mainly with regard to the appropriation of spaces for a new type of use: retail and/or services. We verified the change of use to the tertiary in all horizontal complexes financed by the National Housing Bank in the city of Natal, as well as transformations that correspond to different types of activities belonging to urban production circuits. Considering that tertiary space is understood as an important factor in the organization and structuring of cities, we aim to investigate the transformations from residential use to commercial or services, in housing complexes in the city of Natal/RN, and reflect on the effects on socio-spatial relations of these residential areas and the impacts on their neighborhoods and surrounding areas. As a methodology, in order to seek to develop the procedures, construct the research analysis and meet its objectives, we use documentary research, especially in the newspapers Diário de Natal and Tribuna do Norte; mapping of use of the sets, identifying tertiary activities and their location; carrying out questionnaires with tertiary representatives of the groups; as well as using IPTU data to complement the analyzes on the externality effects of the tertiary. In this research process, we can see that the reappropriation of housing has made the complexes spaces suitable for the reproduction of commercial and service capital, restructuring spaces previously destined for residential use into consumption spaces. In this aspect, we can say that the avenues are the main tertiary locations, but not the only ones, indicating the different locational strategies of the sector.
