Abstract

In addressing the theme of urbanization, and in this case, the urbanization in the Amazon, we must take into account their peculiarities. Cities should be understood from the way they fall to a greater or lesser degree in the division of labor, and how historically been affected by inter-regional division of labor. (SANTOS, 2005) Thus, we turn our attention to the importance assumed by the city of Marabá in southeast of Pará, in view of its centrality in the restructuring of sociospatial dynamics of this region. Two central questions guide this work: a) how important is exercised by the city of Marabá, while an average city, the urban network and in the process of productive restructuring and space, the Amazon region? b) what factors contribute to the city of Marabá becomes central in this process of regional restructuring? Thus, we seek to understand how, in the process of restructuring the Amazon region, the town of Marabá, assumed significance in the dynamic urban southeastern of Pará. Meanwhile, the urban regional dynamics, leads us to investigate the possible centralities that some cities in the region are taking on the networks of circulation territory, from the regional industrial structure. Finally, our concerns are presented as starting points for understanding this set of relations triggered within the urban area, in which the specifics of the cities in the Amazon, like Marabá, end up being key to understanding this process.
