Gentrificação e resistência popular nas feiras e portos públicos da Estrada Nova em Belém (PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-12) SILVA, Jakson Silva da; PEIXOTO, Rodrigo Corrêa Diniz
This article considers the popular resistance on the street markets and public harbors in the Estrada Nova of Belém. It interprets the occupation of the southern waterfront of Belém, analyzed in terms of the social production of urban space. The popular resistance strives to keep the public harbors, Porto da Palha and Porto do Açai, as places of multiple economic and cultural exchanges, against the municipality’s intention of gentrifying the waterfront and removing its current users through the project called Portal da Amazônia. The resistance of small traders, workers, and residents opposes the metaphor ‘windows on the river,’ which represents a one-sided exclusive approach, with another metaphor, that of ‘gateways to the river,’ which has to do with the necessity of coming and going of riverine people, who demand their right to the city. The movement of people and goods at the harbors and the surroundings creates a setting of popular economy and life in Belém. This movement gives identity to the neighborhoods of Jurunas, Condor, and Guamá and agrees with the urbanistic requirements of Jane Jacobs and Marshall Berman, who value everyday life in the streets. In spite of grassroots resistance, the project goes ahead in an obscure way, without any consideration for dialogue or transparency.

Segregação racial na orla de Belém: os portos públicos da Estrada Nova e o Ver-o-Peso
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2016-12) PEIXOTO, Rodrigo Corrêa Diniz; SILVA, Jakson Silva da
The municipal government, through urban developments, plans to gentrify public spaces in Belém´s waterfront. Gentrification here means to transform public spaces into consumption places, leading to the removal of people and, with them, the sociability that gives identity to these places. Public spaces focused here are the ports of Palha and Açaí and the Ver-o-Peso market. They are important places for popular life in Belém, mostly for the black people who use them. Thousands of people comute daily between these places in the continent and the many islands on the other side of the river. Gentrification tends to remove these people, most of them poor, and their activities to more distant areas. As the popular saying goes, ‘poverty has a color’. People resist urban developments that exclude black people. Nevertheless, racial factor isn’t acknowledged as contributing to segregation nor the racial argument is present in resistance discourse. Put together the cultural dimension and the racial factor recognized they would add significant weight to the capacity of resistance and insurgence among this population affected by the changes. This is a point the article raises.
