“…Few gentrified areas manage to maintain extensive tourist activities and consumption of the locality for any length of time (Leite, 2010a(Leite, , 2013. After the golden phase of the gentrification processes over the last two decades of the twentieth century, some of the cities that experienced this type of urban intervention have entered a period of decline in which those excluded have gradually begun to reoccupy these spaces.…”

“…It is true that Barcelona remains one of the world's most visited tourist cities, but the area surrounding the main gentrified calle harbours strong sociocultural tensions, as in the case of La Raval, which increasingly penetrate Las Ramblas, as though looking to challenge it. Surprisingly, despite this potential exhaustion (Leite, 2010a) of the gentrification model and its proven negative impacts on everyday life, various cities continue to reproduce this type of urban intervention. Some of the known experiences, successful or otherwise, have invested and appear to continue to invest in two aspects: 1) A type of public sociability founded on a lifestyle specially adapted to consumption, as a form of nurturing the market relations that comprise the predominant feature of these gentrification projects; 2) The transformation of these citizens/consumers to fit this new form of being and living with the other, mediated by the ephemeralness of the phatic act involved in the consumption of places.…”

“…This is why they provide two heuristic cases for the reflection pursued here concerning the positive transparency that seems to have undermined the possibilities for emancipation due to the market exacerbation of modern reason. On the diverse studies undertaken on European and American cities, see Leite, 2009Leite, , 2010aLeite, , 2013 What Barcelona and Bilbao almost paradigmatically represent is this convergence of tendencies found in a fashionable global urbanism, synthesized in the association between gentrification and smart cities: aggressive entry into the global market of goods and services connected to international tourism; urban market-centred interventions; gentrification of port and/or historical areas with the aim of "regenerating" their utilization; heritage conservation policies associated with real estate appreciation and speculation; the sanitization of public spaces; strong visual appeal through a monumental architecture; sociospatial segregation of the "renewed" areas due to the rise in the socioeconomic levels of the offered products; and inclusion of the local economy in the global and financial flows of digital and technological capital.…”

This article explores the contemporary dimensions of consumer practices in urban life, specifically in their interrelations with gentrification processes and the development of smart cities. Based on the exploratory concept of Hyperflow positive Ambients, the article looks to comprehend the resonances of the transformation of cities in extended spaces of Consumer Society and the metamorphosis of being into valuebeing. It argues that excessive consumption and the hyperneurotic flow of accelerated capital income is a fatal form of denying the finitude of being and the possibility of death, which connects contemporary corporate urbanism to the consummation of the city and urban life.

“…Sua inserção nessas intervenções tem objetivado uma efetiva inclusão das metrópoles na competitiva rede global de cidades ditas culturais ou turísticas, com a promoção e venda de uma imagem da cidade como mercadoria. Principalmente através de uma patrimonialização ou museificação das pró-prias cidades, de seus centros ou monumentos históricos, que alguns autores passaram a denominar "culturalização" ou "musealização" das cidades (Huyssen, 2000 (Leite, 2010). Essa importância econômi-ca da cultura e o reconhecimento de seu papel na promoção da competitividade territorial das cidades têm originado uma progressiva culturalização das políticas urbanas.…”

ResumoUma das condições principais em que se observa o nascimento de novos espaços museológicos são os museus implantados durante os chamados processos de revitalização urbana. Se o que se pretende com essas iniciativas é dar "nova vida" a espaços antes considerados "degradados", cabe se perguntar qual o papel que essas instituições têm a desempenhar nesses processos. Observando que no Brasil, no final do século XX e início do atual, se desenvolveram diversas propostas e projetos de requalificação urbana, selecionaram-se, como alvo da presente reflexão, o processo de implantação do Museu de Artes e Ofícios (MAO) e sua correlação com os processos de revitalização urbana de parte da região central da cidade de Belo Horizonte.Palavras-chave: museu; cidade; revitalização urbana; Praça da Estação; Museu de Artes e Ofícios. AbstractOne of the main conditions in which the birth of new museums is observed are the museums that are implemented during the urban revitalization process. If what is intended with these initiatives is to give "new life" to areas that were previously considered "degraded", it is worth asking what role these institutions should play in these processes. In view of the fact that in Brazil, in the late twentieth century and in the beginning of the current century, several urban regeneration proposals and projects were developed, we selected the process of implementation of the Museu de Artes e Ofícios (Museum of Arts and Trades -MAO) as the target of the present investigation, as well as its connection with the urban revitalization process of part of the central region of the city of Belo Horizonte.

“…A modalidade de enobrecimento predominante no Brasil visa o apelo turístico em detrimento da recuperação de residências de população de baixa renda que, por ventura, permanecessem nestes locais. Assim, da mesma forma que pretendem enobrecer a visitação, também almejam e contribuem para a gentrificação das áreas de centralidade urbana(Leite, 2010).Leite (2010, p. 76) afirma ainda que os centros históricos costumam passar por três etapas de "revitalização", a saber:[...] iniciam com a plena existência do centro como estrutura funcional da vida urbana que agrega as primeiras manifestações de uma cultura urbana. Em um segundo momento, por vários fatores relacionados com a crescente urbanização, eles perdem sua importância socioeconômica, sendo estigmatizados e desvalorizados…”

ResumenEste artículo presenta el contexto actual de transformación urbana del área central e histórica de Florianópolis (Santa Catarina, Brasil), como medida de control social y explotación del potencial turístico e inmobiliario. Para comprender este proceso se consideran los conceptos de "revitalización" y "humanización" a partir del análisis del proyecto "Feria Permanente Viva la Ciudad", desarrollado por la Alcaldía Municipal en asociación con la Cámara de Comercio (CDL). En la discusión de esta problemática sobre reforma urbana, ante el interés por la revitalización de esta área degradada, consideramos que la prerrogativa de fomentar actividades de cultura y ocio como instrumento gradual de apropiación del espacio público, surge para atender intereses particulares de especulación, utilizando el concepto de "revitalización" como justificación para el control territorial. Por otro lado, la necesidad de incluir el concepto de "humanización", volcada hacia los intereses públicos y sociales, sería una alternativa más democrática en la reformulación de la función de los espacios públicos, sin transformarlos en meros receptáculos de la espectacularización y del consumo. Absence of humanization in the revitalization of Florianopolis' historical center, AbstractThis article presents the current context of urban transformation of the central and historical area of Florianopolis (Santa Catarina, Brazil), as a measure of social control and exploitation of tourism and real state potential. The concepts of "revitalization" and "humanization" are taken in consideration after analyzing the Live the City Permanent Fair project developed by the City Hall in association with the Chamber of Commerce (CDL). In the discussion on urban reform and due to the interest in revitalizing this degraded area, we consider that the prerogative of promoting culture and leisure activities -as a gradual instrument of appropriation of public space-addresses speculative interests by using the concept of "revitalization" as a justification for territorial control. On the other hand, the need to include the concept of "humanization", focused on public and social interests, would turn to be a more democratic alternative in the reformulation of the function of public spaces, without transforming them into mere receptacles of spectacularization and consumption.
