Abstract
SOUKEF-JUNIOR, Antonio; BUSNARDO-FILHO, Antonio and DEGREAS, Helena Napoleon. Worker village Maria Zélia: urban scar. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2019, vol.29, n.3, pp.155-164. ISSN 0124-7913. https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v29n3.70480.
The purpose of this paper is to show how worker villages in the city of São Paulo have become urban scars today, once the quick, aggressive evolution process the city has gone through eliminated the elements that once integrated the historical outlook of the city, such as memories from past times, records of different ways of thinking and also other aesthetical views -honorable elements that allowed building a whole cultural heritage that directed urban patterns now completely gone and that changed their former areas into degraded places, in physical, moral and urban aspects. Therefore, the fragments that still exist can still be preserved, but they can no longer be perceived as some type of genuine environmental heritage. In example, the Vila Maria Zélia case.
