This article aims to bring reflections on the production of space in the Santa Lucia favela, located in the center-south region of the capital of Minas Gerais. We understand that spaces must be thought of through their appropriation, which is permeated by what we call meanings of dwelling, which in turn are constituted by encounters, affections, resistances, memories and conflicts. We seek to understand these meanings and how they are crossed by the implementation of the Vila Viva Program in the locality. We built, based on previous experiences of scientific practice with drifts, what we call dialogical walks, understanding that walking, our most everyday gesture, becomes an important tool in the studies about cities. Using social cartography, it was possible to untangle lines and understand the daily life of that location. We conclude that the lived city does not fit within the limits imposed by the planned city, and it is necessary to include social and spatial practices in its making.

Keywords : City; Favela; Rhizome; Structuring Interventions; Walk.
