Abstract

It points to the deconstruction of the classic center/periphery dichotomy and gives priority to the quarter as a special indenture for the contemporaneous urban geography studies. From the inquired data and information of popular quarters, the search looks for to built new approach methodologies of the low rent population “lived spaces” in order to underlie effective politics of participant planning in Salvador context, understanding the “quarters” as spaces of sociability and areas of priority in intervention. Key-words: popular quarters; social nets; urban peripheries; “lived spaces”
