Resumo
It is proposed to research the urban permanences verified in the initial core of Goiânia, as
from Goiás Avenue, its most symbolic and expressive stretch. It starts with the analysis of
the political discourse disseminated by Pedro Ludovico Teixeira, in favor of moving the
capital to a place better adjusted to his political interests, after the triumph of the Brazilian
Revolution of 1930. Therefore, he builds powerful social representations, based on the
images of the old and the new capital, in order to oppose those against this change and
consolidate his government. In addition to the speech and propaganda, Ludovico uses, as a
statement element, the urban plan designed by Attilio Corrêa Lima, creating a modern
intentional monument to be immortalized, translated by the monumental Goiás Avenue.
Then, the city experiences a vertiginous growth in its territory and population, mainly after the
1950s, resulting in the disfigurement of its pioneering core. The spatial transformations
verified in Goiás Avenue are representative of this scenario, such as its verticalization
process and the changes in its layout to meet the demands from the public transportation.
From these losses, consequences of the progressive mentality that is rooted in the local
culture, arise the first initiatives to preserve the material evidences of the beginning Goiânia,
culminating with its federal preservation in 2003. From this institutionalization as a national
heritage, it is focused the appropriation by the city inhabitants, through the research of the
urban imaginary created since the pioneer’s city until the present day, highlighting striking
points in this trajectory. For that, it is used literature in prose and verse to reach the local
collective memory, focusing on the capital early years and on the current city - violent,
disjointed and that is forgetting its history day by day.
