Abstract
The article seeks to rescue the process of socio-spatial transformations in the area that corresponds to the Subprefecture of Itaquera, in São Paulo city, comparing its centrality (district of Itaquera) with the one at José Bonifácio Housing Estate (district of José Bonifácio). For this purpose, two cycles of real estate construction are used: the period 1970-1985, when the housing project of the National Development Bank in the region was carried out, through Cohab-SP; and that from 2000 to 2015, interval in which infrastructure, services and real estate investments were implemented due to the construction of Arena Corinthians in the context of the Fifa World Cup. The aim is to demonstrate how the center-periphery model, traditional interpretation about Latin American cities, does not apply to the movement of continuities and discontinuities in the region under study.
