Descrição
O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma abordagem da cartografia em sua forma objetiva, relacionada à produção e pesquisa de mapas, e também na forma simbólica, como ferramenta de compreensão do espaço, das relações sociais e da paisagem. Está estruturado a partir de breve consideração sobre o papel dos mapas e as relações de poder para em seguida, tratar dos mapas urbanos e como eles podem ser ferramentas na produção das cidades, com a devida distinção entre os mapas que produzem espaço e mapas que são produzidos pelo espaço. O estudo de caso é a cidade de São Paulo, entre 1930 e 1980. Estas considerações dão suporte à abordagem da leitura das paisagens por meio dos mapas e à aproximação da cartografia com a Geografia Humanista.||The purpose of this article is to present a cartographic approach in its objective manner related to the production and research maps, and also in symbolic form, such as understanding tool of the space, social relations and landscape.
