| Abstract: | Although young, when compared to European cities, the city of São Paulo is one of the oldest in Brazil (1554). Emerging as a small village, and currently characterized by neighborhoods that originate in very different times throughout its history, São Paulo is defined as a mosaic. Our specific goal is to present and discuss the main naming models superimposed on the city’s public spaces (particularly roads and bridges) century by century, and arriving to the twenty-first century with the lack of public policies that regard toponymy as an essential tool to build a symbolic bridge between the past and the present. |
| Key words: | urban toponymy, São Paulo toponymy, São Paulo public spaces |
