RESUMO

The objective of this work is to understand how the urban space of many cities, far from the ones that are already consolidated as Brazilian metropolis, goes through deep changes in different aspects of life in a modernizing logic; in its urban economy, in the job structure, in the way that the people live, circulate and consume, resulting in an accelerated urbanizing process and in some growing social-spatial inequalities. The reflection focuses on the current historical period, considered here as a technical- scientific-informational period. Without lose the sight of the totality, the space analyzed is part of the city of Sobral, located in Ceará, whose formation was in the beginning of 18th Century, occupying since then an important place in the urban net in this state in different aspects such as political, economical and cultural, revealing itself in the present days as a selected place in Northeast Brazil. The empirical base was thought through the characteristics and articulations between two urban economical circuits usually known as; formal and informal. In the time of this co-existence we identify the connection place/world and how occurs "the territory shout", it means, how emerges the strength of the place in poor areas.
