Transformations of the Heritage Landscape Induced by Urban and Tourist Public Policies in Public Spaces in the City of São Luís (Maranhão)

Tourism interventions have altered the dynamics of use and occupation of public spaces in São Luís, Brazil, despite preserving their historical landscape configurations. The study focuses on João Lisboa Square and Largo do Carmo, both located in the UNESCO-listed Historic Centre of São Luís, which retains its colonial-era patrimonial landscape. Researchers analyzed these transformations through bibliographic research, policy analysis, and field activities, revealing that tourism has reshaped how these spaces are utilized while maintaining their architectural integrity.
