DOCUMENTARY SURVEY ON FORTALEZA URBANIZATION IN THE 19TH CENTURY

Abstract

The analysis of documentary sources, referring to Fortaleza during the second half of the
nineteenth century, can be configured as a tecnical work in the beginning. However the
founded documents – newspapers, “Almanacks”, “Reports” – lead us to a new perception of
the material heritage which reveal contrasts, considering what was said and what was done for the sake of urbanization.
