Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article aims to discuss the evolution of urbanism of the Pilar community, urban slum located at the historic Center of the city of Recife, and to present the Urban Renewal and Social Inclusion Program for the Community Pillar - PRUISC, debating its actions in the context of the theory of Integrated Conservation. The successive social and spatial formation processes of the current Community Pilar will be analyzed, employing the binomial construction/destruction, for which capitalist forces pressure the territory for successive reforms and compel its occupation to certain requirements related to capital accumulation. Through case analysis, we evaluate more closely the last government plan for the area, its challenges and its execution: a re-qualification program which aims to combine heritage preservation and provision of decent housing, increasing quality of life of the resident population.
