Society builds a different order from the natural one, by manipulating space in order to generate distinct ordered structures. Urban society converts natural space, whose behaviour is difficult to perceive in a more comprehensive space with known relationships that generate a space of certainty, in order to facilitate activities that define society, in other words, to domesticate the nature. This process is applicable to any anthropogenic development, but especially in urban areas where it is more obvious the over positioning of structural order. The society attempts to obtain a progressive optimization of its own activity, generating a rational accumulation of surpluses in terms of space resulting from the exploitation of nature, which is initially more organized. These surpluses are accumulated as structures with stability features (construction) that in principle are inseparable from the simultaneous creation of a property system (streets, parcels) and functions. Thus, a specific relationship is established between a production area and the accumulation space in terms of matter and energy (Tojo 2002). Since the 1950s, when the General Systems Theory and Cybernetics began to be applied in social sciences, cities began to be treated formally as systems. The idea of a general system theory emerged from reflections on how distinct entities, formed by inferior elements, are organized into a coherent superior entity, in patterns and order. This was followed by a focus on how the elements interact with each other through structures that make the systems more
