Resumen
During the first decades of the twentieth century, Natal passed through a significant physical growth. The city expanded its routes - and thus its urban lands supplies – because of the foundation of new neighborhoods and later intervention plans, opening new streets and redefining urban boundaries. Several technical networks consolidated concomitantly, among them, public transportation, like tram lines and railroads. This modernization process revealed the interests of different articulators over urban production and urban planning legislation during the Old Republic (1889-1930). These individuals, or groups of individuals, acted through the emphyseuse of urban areas, as holders of the useful domain of large fractions of land in the capital of the state. In this context, a question arises: in which way the process of consolidation of the land ownership in Natal is related to the structuring of the roads networks and urban transportation systems? It is assumed that the land concentration patterns, intrinsically related to the infrastructure distribution, resulted from the action of several social agents – mostly, from the political and commercial-mercantile spheres, which presented many intersections among themselves – intervening in urban planning legislation, especially in the emphyseuse’s rules. The main objective of this analysis is to understand the role of emerging urban land structure conformation in the constitution of urban layout and circulation technical networks. The aim is to contribute not only to a historical perspective, but also to understanding the contemporary city, mapping the forms of urban structure favored by the historical process and its continuities, seeking to deepen the study of the gears and strategies used by the various agents. Many were the primary sources of information: Letters of Empowerment of the Municipality of Natal (1904-1930), Acts, Decrees and Messages of the Government of the Province and State, Reports and Resolutions of the Municipality of Natal and the Almanak Laemmert, moreover the cartography from the period studied. The results of the research allowed the construction of a periodization that evidences definitions in the road mesh as determinants of the first disposition of land tenure patterns. Subsequently, these standards attracted investments in transport infrastructure and paving. Consequently, this attraction established differentiated valuations in diverse urban fractions, which, in turn, captured new investments. In this way, this relationship is dialectical and cyclical and goes over time defining and redefining hierarchical values of access to land in the intra-urban context.
