Urbanity can be understood as the balance between the spatial and the social dimensions which form the urban space; e.g. a situation where security has been provided on streets and on sidewalks; public spaces which are suitable for social activities and potentialized by containing a diversity of functions, as well as the presence of people of different social classes, gender and age. This kind of urban quality is becoming scarcerer on contemporary brazilian cities, having mistaken and permissive public interference and the rise of urban violence as some of the key cause factors. Altiplano Cabo Branco neighbourhood, at João Pessoa/PB, is a privileged spot for urbanity investigation, once it contains, in a somewhat restrict observation space two radically opposed and stereotyped displaces for a city, which have been built mainly after the approval of Public Decree 5.844/07, at 2007. This work means to understand the connection between space and society on the three main sectors which compose the Altiplano based on the concept of urbanity. It consists of a study about public spaces, physical space displays, building typology and public-private interface on the neighbourhood; as well as the social effects of those situations, which can be perceived on the way the space is used and on research data collected throw interviews with the local population. This research proposes a physical space approach to its object obtained throw morphologic analyses and the filling of index cards based on the key authors; it also promotes a social approach throw the analyses of the social behavior of the users, interviews with them and in loco examination of the urban space. Throughout this research the influence of public spaces' quality factors, spatial arrangements and public-private interface is made evident. On the other hand the fear for urban violence appears as the main cause for abandoning public spaces by a share of the population. The conclusion is that the use of public spaces occurs at times by overcoming deficiencies which would appear to inhibit all sort of public space use: Friendship between neighbours and the lack of private spaces' quality are some of the factors that influence on this behavior. This research calls attention to the consequences of sudden changes on urban display without proper planning only to satisfy the wishes of a specific and homogeneous group within the population. It concerns also about a factor known as "fear culture", which influences deeply the relation between users and the public space surrounding them, specially by a determined share of the society. Through this complex and contemporary view of the urban space it is made possible to discuss prospects and foresee the influences of such reality of a fragile and deficient urbanity which tends continue to fade.
