The conformation of a city and the organization of its spaces form a material base starting from which it is possible to think a possible range of sensations and social practices. The city, while interaction and hybridity space, builds and reconstructs in time identities, it produces and reflects meanings, moving the attention to those social processes. It is presupposed that to understand the urban space through the consideration of its culture and of its intermediate spaces – streets, neighborhoods and equipments such as bars and restaurants – it is a way of looking for best means to manage it. This study has as objective to describe the cultural meanings attributed to the intermediate spaces, involving the emerging of bars and restaurants in three contiguous neighborhoods of Fortaleza, discussing the reflexes in terms of socialterritorial development of the city. For such it was used, as methodological focus, an ethnographic research, combining varied collection techniques. The Thematic Analysis technique, which belongs to the Analysis of Content techniques group, was applied in the analysis of the collected information. Simultaneous times and differentiated spaces were evidenced, in which “places” and “non places” coexist meaning the “between places” and characterizing the emerging of intermediate spaces in the context of a city divided in two, rich in symbolisms and interaction, fragmented and solitary, unable to share the cultural codes suggesting challenges to its administration.
