This study discusses interventions in historic centers and the relationship of public spaces with their users, based on the case study of Praça Cívica, located in the Central Sector of Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. The objective of the work is to analyze the intervention processes in urban centers and the revitalization of historic public spaces, debating on the connection between the concepts of memory, identity and urban centers. Initially, the concepts of culture, memory and heritage are presented, relating them to public spaces. Then, an analysis of the square was made, seeking to understand its history and its changes over time, focusing on the last revitalization, which took place in 2016. The methods used were: bibliographic review, historiographic analysis, case study, on-site visit and application of a virtual questionnaire with city dwellers, in order to understand the users' relationship with the square. The results demonstrate that there is, in fact, a connection between users and the space, but there is a need to create policies aimed at valuing the existing heritage, promoting activities and different uses, as well as maintaining the physical space of the square which is currently degraded - even though it has recently been revitalized.
