Abstract

This article investigates the modernity in the construction of the city of Vitoria in the passage from the nineteenth century to the twentieth century, in which the State acted as the main promoter of this task . For this purpose, the analysis was based on the study of the ideological foundations of the process. The conclusion was that the transformations of Vitória were dominated by the interests linked to the mercantile-exporting instance of capital, to the detriment of the construction of a collective city project; and that this fraction of capital was ideologically nourished by the sign of the modern for the construction of a class project, oriented towards commercial development, which proposed the production of the modern through a rupture with the colonial past of the city. The perspective of analysis sought to understand the production of urban modernity as a production of space, and in this task, to investigate the ideological foundations that participated in the process of construction of the city.
