The urban segregation, the move towards the outskirts, the intense migratory flow and the physical conurbation among the towns, affect mainly the appropriation of their public spaces. Considering such transformations and the growing loss of the public way of living in the cities, as well as the urban and buildings patrimony, it is in the public spaces where the importance of the identity preservation and the social contacts are observed. The public spaces are also an essential element for the urban centers re-qualification, for they are being depleted from their civic and recreational functions, due to historical processes of real estate speculation and space segregation. Through research, surveys and comparative analyses of actual data about the Valinhos municipality s public spaces with patrimonial value, it is intended to investigate the main transformations and impacts that these spaces experienced with the continuous and disperse onward march of the urbanization process and the devaluation of the original urban fabric. / As cidades que comp?em a Regi?o Metropolitana de Campinas v?m sofrendo nas ?ltimas d?cadas com o processo de regionaliza??o e metropoliza??o das atividades, tendo conseq??ncias na estrutura??o de seu tecido urbano e na organiza??o de sua popula??o. A segrega??o urbana, a periferiza??o, o intenso fluxo migrat?rio e a conurba??o f?sica entre as cidades afetam principalmente a apropria??o de seus espa?os p?blicos. Tendo em conta tais transforma??es e a crescente perda nas cidades dos modos de vida p?blicos, assim como do patrim?nio urbano e edificado, v?-se nos espa?os p?blicos a import?ncia para manuten??o de uma identidade e de um conv?vio social, bem como elemento essencial na requalifica??o de centros urbanos, j? que vem se esvaziando de sua fun??o c?vica e recreativa devido a processos hist?ricos de especula??o imobili?ria e segrega??o espacial. Atrav?s de buscas, levantamentos e an?lises comparativas de dados concretos sobre os espa?os p?blicos de valor patrimonial do munic?pio de Valinhos, pretende-se investigar as principais transforma??es e impactos que estes espa?os sofreram com o avan?o do processo de urbaniza??o cont?nua e dispersa e a desvaloriza??o do tecido urbano original.
