Abstract

The study presented here has as central axis of analysis the relationship established between the city of São Paulo from the 1930s, when it is seen in frank process of metropolization with contours of a certain modernity, including not only urban and population reconfigurations, but also coping with new and old illnesses that took the scene and helped explain the city, from the so-called "diseases of progress." With them on the agenda of medical and health authorities, but especially in the lives of their citizens, it is possible to understand the design of the city and the place of individuals, a central notion of the edges that would make up the so-called "modernity of São Paulo".
