The present thesis, presented for the finalization of the Master in Architecture, seeks to ponder on the relation between residences, commerce and streets, in the Romanized city of Pompeii. This city lies in the Campania region, and presents itself as one of the finest examples of Roman culture. Through the analyses of the urban network of Pompeii, we noticed that it presents a first center. However, at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius, 79 AD, the urban grid occupied all the area between walls, 66 acres. The development of the urban network, which culminates in the structure of the city in 79 AD, was marked by three moments of reformulations. Romanization, which implied the presentation of this city in Roman way, representing the grandeur and culture of this society; the transition to an Imperial City, reflecting one more time increase in new construction and public buildings; and the earthquake of 62 AD, which demanded major reforms in the urban area, since most of the town had been damaged. The study of urban elements - residences, commerce and streets - allow us to identify forms of communication between them. The domus, houses with courtyards, set in depth, according to a longitudinal axis, presenting itself as closed organisms, which had a single point of contact with the public space, the entrance. The commerce, regardless of its type, required a direct relationship with the street, with wide openings to the outside. The street, presented itself as an accumulation of events. This was constituted by the buildings that defined it, and the point of connection with them would be the facade. The degree of constitutedness of the streets is defined by the occurrence and variation of entrances, presented at the street. The relations between urban elements studied are present throughout the city, however, they presented itself with greater intensity in the main streets. So, we choose as a study case one of the principal axes of Pompeii, which connects two of the city gates to the Forum. Observing and analyzing through drawing, we identify the various types of communication between the different urban elements, and how the relationships between them are involved in the design and space environments, in Roman cities.
