Abstract

In this presentation we discuss the human action on relief, specifically in what concerns to São Paulo City. First, we expose a preliminary and general framework (what we call The Technogenic Relief Theory) about the modification and creation of geomorphic processes and relief forms by man. Then we outline a wide picture of the characteristics and evolution of morphogenesis in the studied region, what shapes the superposition of a new geomorphologic condition to the original urban land. At last, we alert for the importance of application of the discussed concepts to the analysis and suggestion of solutions regarding urban occupation problems.
