This work, entitled: Dynamics of use of Olavo Bilac Square in the context of the city of Belém, aimed to identify and analyze the different uses and form of ownership in the Olavo Bilac Square, and for this we start from the assumption that the various uses in this square are revealing the conditions of life imposed by the capitalist mode of production. The methodology is structured from a survey of literature sources concerning the issue, then conducted a documentary research about the origin and history of the square in question, precisely in newspapers, websites and official documents belonging to the Parish of St. Dominic, we also carried out a systematic observation in the study area, the hours of the morning, afternoon and night; every day of the week, but not consecutively. It was also made a roadmap for the application of interviews with vendors and visitors of Olavo Bilac Square, to serve as records of historical reference and records of uses of the respondents. After applying this screenplay we went to the step of the interviews, when we had a conversation with vendors who work within the Square, with people using the square as a passage, and other neighborhood residents who use the square, and that has to do with this, totaling 16 people. The results of this research show that, this square is a reference to leisure, is a place of passage, the encounter, but also the diversity and inequality that the capitalist mode of production imposes on cities and those who live there, because the Olavo Bilac Square as well as all other squares, is the expression of the city, and will express the lifestyle of this city.
