The aim of this study is to understand the meaning of returning to live in a shanty town based on the significance revealed by women who were removed from the Três Marias slum and were resettled in the Garagem Housing Project. It was part of the Program for the canalization of streams and construction of public roads PROCAV II implemented by the City Hall of São Paulo. The main objective is to understand the meaning that emerges from the narrative of those women focusing on a social and cultural analysis. It was defined as hypothesis that returning to live in a shantytown can be explained and understood in multiple ways, some of them based on facts of real life and others based on abstract sensations. At the same time, shanty towns are seen as areas where people build freely their house and their way of living. The methodological approach is the Oral history, a qualitative methodology that emphasizes people and their narrative as responsible for the construction of their life and fate in a limited and problematic reality. The methodology was grounded on bibliographic research, document research and research in area based on 4 semistructured interviews, participative observation and pictures taken by the subjects. The concepts adopted are: experience , culture , to live , shanty town and rooted in an interdisciplinary approach. The outcomes reveal that financial difficulties force those who were resettled to give up the housing project but this is not the only possible reason. Giving up the housing projects and returning to shanty towns can also be seen as a result of individual or familiar decision due to subjective needs and interests, which lead people to look for a transformation in life. Going back to shanty towns seems to be a possible solution, and also an option. It seems that people desire what is known, familiar and the nearest place. It was in a shanty town that the women, subject of this research, refound their roots, their feelings of belonging to a group, of belonging to an area where their neighbours have similar cultural aspects. When returning to shanty towns they rebuilt their identity so that could recognize themselves in the problems, struggle and pleasure of their routine
