Abstract

This article aims to analize how the urban memory and preservation of built heritage has been articulated in the region of Santa Ifigênia (São Paulo). This neighborhood,
one of the oldest in the city, for the last decades has been the target of actions that tried to reverse social and environmental problems through cultural policies involving
directly the built heritage. For better understanding, we are considering the performance of conservationists, social movements and of the group that comprises
the Nova Luz consortium, who was hired by PMSP to design a radical intervention in the area. By this way, we want to understand what role assigned to the policies of
urban intervention processes conservationists in the contemporary metropolises, analyzing the case of São Paulo.
