Transformaciones, conflictos e identidades en el Centro Histórico de Salvador de Bahia

Urban renewal policies in Salvador de Bahia's historic center, particularly Pelourinho, have significantly transformed the area since its 1985 UNESCO World Heritage designation, aiming to establish it as a major South American tourist destination. These transformations, driven by local and regional authorities, have sparked conflicts among stakeholders and serve as a model for other cities with similar potential. The study analyzes these policies from the late nineteenth century onward, highlighting how they reflect the interests of power groups and the challenges in creating a vibrant, multifunctional space.
