Jundiaí Industrial Village: tensions between continuity and transformation

Abstract

Temporal experiences and the evolution of ways of life leave their marks and condition the landscape, which in turn narrates the dialectic between preservation and transformations of urban space. This article has as object of study the Industrial Village Jundiaí (1954), in Anápolis (GO), analyzing the intersection between urban planning, economic forces and the constitution of heritage. Historically, the village is at the origin of the Jundiaí Neighborhood (1943) - the first planned core of the city based on the precepts of garden cities -, having been designed as an annex to meet the needs of industrial activity in the city however verifies-that the determining factor for its consolidation was the railway infrastructure, with the implementation of the Castilho Engineer Station (1951), which functioned as a catalyst for local production flow. Having as methodological procedures the spatial reading and the on-site path, the study examines the remaining morphology of the urban complex of the Industrial Village, in the Jundiaí neighborhood, in which the orthogonal layout and the factory buildings stand out, such as sheds, the old mill and the railway station. The results point to the need for preservation of these elements, which, although strained by contemporary urban dynamics, are configured as fundamental supports of collective memory and anapoline identity.
