Abstract: The article intends to present the reflections and analyzes about the city of São Paulo that Roger Bastide left behind during his time in the city from 1938 to 1954. When he commented on the process of verticalization in São Paulo, Roger Bastide called it city-cathedral, saw in the curves of some modern buildings a possibility for a barroque modernism and analyzed, form a sociological point of view, the so-called “living machines”. When dealing with urbanity, the french master imagined the city of São Paulo as a tentacular city, with its tentacles moving in all directions. In these movements, Bastide saw the movements of aggregation and segregations of the black population in the city. However, Bastide´s metaphor can be extended to a series of other inclusions and exclusions produced by the São Paulo metropolis of that moment and, why not to say, of this moment.
