This Commercial Center was founded in 2001 by an effort of State and Municipality public power, SEBRAE, SENAI and local entrepreneurs trying to reorganize the street market called Feira da Sulanca which was historically informal. Regarding the methodology we search to cover both objective and subjective dimensions (structures, processes and practices), referring the historic constitution and recent inside and outside changes concerning this Commercial Center and surroundings. We did a qualitative research using direct observation, documental analysis and interviews with local entrepreneurs, street market sellers, public representatives, commercial associations and workers unions.
