Inscribed in the theoretical perspective of Cultural Studies in Education, the article presents a discussion about the possibilities of a pedagogical dimension of urbanism based on research whose object of study was the proposal for the revitalization of Cais Mauá in Porto Alegre/RS/BR. In this direction, it is exposed and debated the concept of cultural pedagogies, adopted for the analysis of topics on the proposal website, with approaches to the notion of revitalization in urbanism. It argues about the productivity of the articulation between different fields of knowledge - urbanism and education - for the investigation of cities and the practices that constitute them. Strategies used in the website to guide public perceptions are pointed out, as they teach what would be desirable to improve life in the city. As a corollary, the concept of pedagogies of urbanism is understood as productive to envision a certain way of conducting life in cities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
