Paper long abstract:

In order to obtain a better understanding of the urban debate in São Paulo - Brazil - in the early twentieth century, we must build on some ideas and current practices that are related, on one hand, to the urban debate internationalization phenomenon typical of the 1880-1914 period and to the movement of Brazilian and foreign professionals (who came to Brazil) and their performances in the country, and, on the other hand, to the teaching model implemented at the Polytechnic School of São Paulo.
