The creation of the Municipality of Pelotas in the 19th Century was based upon a saladeiril system which had previously existed for approximately a century. The purpose of this research is to analyze, using Pelotas as a case study, the economic and urban reappropriation of the space of the old charqueadas which have been transformed into industries. The analysis discusses, through representations of the city and its peripheral areas, this transformation process with respect to the integration and linkages between the charqueadas and the rest of the urban network. The research seeks to interpret how the area was occupied by the charqueada industry, and, afterwards, was characterized as the opposite of a modern planned city, being abandoned to free enterprise and speculative property investments. In this process, the analysis of two improvement projects (Rullman and Saturnino de Brito) was fundamental for the perception of the creation of the new image that the city was taking on. The surviving sites of production represent an architectural and industrial heritage which make it possible to understand the development of this process. The final part of this research has been to investigate the trajectory in time of the urban and architectural space on the banks of the São Gonçalo Canal, in its different uses and forms of integration in the urban network, looking to understand its relationships, importance and legacy for the formation of the city of Pelotas.
