RESUMO

The main concern of this work is to study recent urbanization processes in Rio de Janeiro s hinterland, conceiving urbanization as a crucial factor for territorial structuring, which transcends at the present time the agglomeration physical boundaries. Rio de Janeiro s hinterland recent urbanization trends have been evaluated through the combination of three scales (regional, municipal and local). We did so based on two master lines: first the urbanization concept retrieval, through an epistemological approach; and second throughout the historical construction of the object. Two major patterns have been drawn from such analysis, which comprehend other more specific ones. Both of them are related, in distinctive ways, to social and spatial exclusion processes at the regional level. . a first one, diffuse, in the more dynamic areas, characterized by the interstitial occupation of space, forming multiple nodalities strategically scattered between places with distinctive specializations, that assumes a multipolar configuration, which goes against the traditional models of urban hierarchies. . and a second one, in areas with low development and less economical diversification, marked by the maintenance of the concentration tendency in few places, with an increasing accumulation of activities and population in the municipalities center. These trends signalize to a crescent dissolution of the rural-urban antagonism as for to the need of lessening the metropolis omnipresence in the territory.
