| Summary: | The creation of the Derby in Recife at the end of the nineteenth century, as a commerce, services and leisure center is the focus of the following study. The Derby introduced new attitudes of consumption, articulated with new forms of diversion and leisure, into the city. The paper attempts to show, at least in spatial terms, how the Derby expressed a moment of public space redefinition through the introduction of new standards of comfort, hygene and security and through a change in the city/nature relationship. The paper also attempts to show how the failure of this experiment, after a short existance of less than one year, was related to political conflict between the owner of the Derby and the authorities in Pernambuco at that time |
