BOUCAS, Laila. The work on the street: a relationship between public space, planning and the right to the city. GOT [online]. 2017, n.12, pp.49-73. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2017.12.003.

This article results of a Master's research, which aimed at analyzing the way in which the activity of street workers is inserted and related to the public space, as well as how it’s affected by urban planning in an area in the city center of  Salvador. To do so, the theory of the circuits of the economy developed by Milton Santos is such a fundamental theoretical basis to understand the case study. So, this paper aims to take a look at the attempt to organize the public space by the city government, understood within the scope of strategic planning, which understands the city from a business perspective, favoring aspects in order to put it in a competitive position vis-à-vis other ones.

Palabras clave : street worker; public space; appropriation; strategic planning.
