Starting form some city concepts coming from some scholars (Mumford, Benveniste, Rapoport, Heidegger, Volli) this reflection aims understand urban phenomenology. The next step is the insight of the city as a text mainly from Lotman and Hjelmslev. The Itueta (Brazil) eradication and the West End (Boston - USA) reshuffle are examples of radical changings in the urban text and their effects over their inhabitants. The cultural, sociological and psychological changings - grief, psychological pathologies, discomfort - are at stake in this analysis. So, as conclusion: city is actually the end outcome of a text - as a write down and as a testimony - stablishing deep and meaningful relationships to the life of its dwellers.

Palavras-chave : territory; space semiotics; semiosphere; Lotman.
