Over the last decades, a number of civil society protests have gained momentum in Brazil. In this context, after these protests in June of 2013 there were alterations in organizational pattern of the Brazilian civil society. Although the new social movements are generally characterized by a great number of different motivations, it is understood that these movements demonstrate specificities that deserve to be analyzed, especially the ones related to how these issues influence urban space.  In this sense, the article aims to draw a panorama of urban social movements in the city of Natal / RN, between 2013 and 2016. Thus, a research was done considering data from two national newspapers and was also based on semi-structured interviews realized with local social movement representatives. The research evidenced movements with different characteristics and that have specific convergences.

Keywords : City rights; Social movements; Urban mobility; Housing rights.
