Résumé anglais Tania FISCHER and Florence HEBER, The transformation of urban services in Salvador de Bahia. This article discusses how the Brazilian city of Salvador de Bahia has dealt with the problems of managing urban technical networks. The former system of public administration, a legacy from the period right after the war, proved to be incapable of dealing with a situation which rapidly evolved over the past twenty years. The city has become more spread out, the population has become more polarized, and the structure of the city is a combination of networked zones with completely unzoned, illegally developed areas. The city has thus turned to private companies. The authors of the article describe the changes in three key sectors: water utilities, garbage removal and transportation. They show that the public authories must create new, stable relationships with their partners and with customers, which touches on problems of the level of responsibility, forms of controls, and payment.
