Os CIRCUITOS DA ECONOMIA E O COMÉRCIO ATACADISTA NA RUA GOVERNADOR SAMPAIO/FORTALEZA (CE)

Abstract

In the technical-scientific-informational period, changes occur quickly and on a global scale, but do not reach all places at the same speed, differentiating them in space and time. Reading economic activities via the urban economy is one of the possible ways of interpreting the organization of the activity you want to study. In this context, this article aims to characterize the current wholesale trade developed at street Governador Sampaio, downtown of Fortaleza/CE, through the articulation of the urban economy circuits, understood as an essential link to the circuits. To achieve the proposed objectives, we use the following methodological procedures: selection of analytical, secondary and empirical variables, bibliographic and data survey; database organization and fieldwork. The justification of the analysis is based on the understanding that the wholesale trade developed on this route is secular and had its origin in the formation of the commercial square of Fortaleza, which is currently its traditional Center, and precedes the changes that the wholesale sector has undergone in the last twenty years. , metamorphosing and coexisting with modernizations.
