This work is part of a doctoral research in development, whose central theme is black populations and black urban areas in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The great diversity of forms of urban occupations in terms of social, economic, spatial, cultural, and historic aspects is observed in these urban areas. This research sheds new light on the problem, and fosters an understanding about urban areas in Brazil on cultural and historical specificities of black populations. Since the beginning of the last century, the foundation for the formation of some neighborhoods in the city was of African religions houses (Terreiros de Candomblé). The proposal presents a study considering that the African Heritage, the economic history and the natural resources shaped urban environments.
