Abstract
Este artigo reflete sobre Teresina (PI), nos meados do século XX, período em que essa capital, num movimento similar ao ocorrido em outras cidades do mesmo porte, passou por múltiplas e variadas intervenções arquitetônicas e espaciais. Esse processo modernizador, entretanto, não foi recebido sem conflito, uma vez que o idealizado embelezamento urbano - preconizado por urbanistas e intelectuais - tropeçava numa realidade configurada por ruas onde se enfileiravam casebres de pau-a-pique cobertos com palha de coco babaçu. Tomaram-se as crônicas publicadas em diários locais como fontes privilegiadas, considerando os cronistas como observadores atentos ao cotidiano da cidade.

This process of modernization shouldn’t be received with no conflict, for as much the idealized urban embellishment — proclaimed by urbanists and scholars — stumbled on a reality represented by streets where mud wall hovels lined up covered with babaçu coconut straw
In attempt of capture the mentioned process above, made use of chronicles published in local periodics as privileged sources, for as much the chroniclers were considered as observers more attentive to the daily of the city
