Abstract
In order to understand the contemporary city it is necessary to recognize that culture is a decisive aspect in the production of space, even more so in a context of economic globalization and urban competition that appropriates elements of local cultural. This article establishes a relationship between the pro- duction of urban space in the city of Florianópolis and the formation of socio-spatial identities, which create complex relationships both among themselves and with the city. Resulting from the importation of external urban models and the immigration of various populations, these groups that are neither fixed nor cohesive, form relationships that alternate between conflict and cooperation, resulting in a multifaceted, mutating perspective in relation to the urban development of the city. Thus, the present article collaborates with a pluralistic perspective on the city, and concludes that this form of refounding the city through the multiple narratives of its inhabitants may be transformed into an act of citizenship, since it allows for the transformations of its own political culture.
