Abstract

One of the most important phenomenon in the globalization scenario is the city's expansion and the expansion of the urban mentality beyond their geographical boundaries. Medium cities, however, generally still lack of qualified recreation. Based on these premises, this discussion aims to present that the Urban Imaginary is semanticized by Plaza and the Stage. Both are marked as spaces of being together and of seeing and be seen. So the presence of recreational offerings that mobilize people to get together and to see each other, may contribute to form the urban spirit in the city.
