Descrição
This article is the result of the seminar organized for the Project USP-COFECUB between universities of Lyon and São Paulo, entitled “Dynamic planning and spatial representations: heuristic data and context”. It highlights the methods and sources used by three doctoral students that deal with the production of the city on different field researches in Brazil, in Italy and in France. Each research is oriented by its particularities, the state of science in its own place, but mainly by the level of analysis of the city production, used by the researcher: the actor, the means and the territory. These levels are forcing to ask specific questions, to use different data to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the global phenomenon of the production of the city. ||O artigo é o resultado do seminário “Dinâmicas de urbanismo e representações espaciais: heurística dos dados e contexto”, organizado no âmbito do projeto USP-Cofecub entre as universidades de Lyon e de São Paulo. Propõe-se explorar os métodos e as fontes dos dados utilizados por três doutorandos que tratam da produção da cidade em diferentes trabalhos de campo no Brasil, na Itália e na França. Cada posicionamento é dirigido pela especificidade da pesquisa, do estado da arte no local do trabalho de campo e, sobretudo, pelo nível de análise da produção da cidade escolhido: o ator social envolvido, os meios e o território. Esses níveis possibilitaram estruturar questões específicas a fim de explorar dados diferentes para contribuir para uma compreensão global do fenômeno acerca da produção da cidade.||This article is the result of the seminar organized for the Project USP-COFECUB between universities of Lyon and São Paulo, entitled “Dynamic planning and spatial representations: heuristic data and context”.
