Regulamentação urbana enquanto factor de conflitos: diálogos e vivências na organização do comércio informal nos passeios da Baixa da Cidade de Maputo

Abstract

This monograph analyses the dialogues and experiences that vendors have with municipal authorities municipal authorities in the process of restructuring and organizing sales on the pavements of downtown Maputo. city of Maputo. The analysis starts from the conflictive reality in the process of implementation of the informal commerce policy. of informal commerce, this study proposes an analysis that looks at how the vendors experience experience the transformations and reinvent themselves to deal with the new context. With the assumption that, at a time when these vendors were prohibited from selling in these spaces, at a time when there was a at a time when there was a more serious action by the Municipal Police, describe how did they get around it? How did they reorganise themselves? How did they react? And how do they perceive that place? In the same process, understanding the perceptions constructed in this I argue that the experience is strongly marked by a complex dialogue between

historical influence, urban possibilities and the dispute over the right to the city. In this context, vendors and vendors and the Municipal Police experience a conflictive relationship around the uses of public spaces public spaces, especially the pavements of downtown Maputo, and also their regulation. Meanwhile, I describe and analyse the universe of informal commerce organisation, from the vendors' trajectory of the vendors, their daily uses to the forms of sociability and experiences. This research was conducted based on the theoretical proposal "ethnographic look: from close and inside" of Magnani (2002) and the suggestion of Agier (2011) and Moura (2013) that proposes to analyze the city singularly as a human, living and complex process. These perspectives suggest to see close the city, through people's performance, avoiding comparisons and projections of values of one city in another and seeking relevant aspects and differential in the researched context. In this way, ethnographic research made it possible to understand a range of factors that make up the relational dimension that constitutes their existential maintenance and contributes to the debate on the categorization and negotiation of urban spaces in contexts of tension, norms and rules.
