NOVAS REDES URBANAS: CIDADES MÉDIAS E PEQUENAS NO PROCESSO DE GLOBALIZAÇÃO
Resumo
Um conjunto significativo de mudanças econômicas, sobretudo, vem
alterando as estruturas segundo as quais se organizam as redes urbanas. O
aumento das formas e ritmos de circulação tem tido papel fundamental
nessa redefinição e transforma, de modo substancial, os papéis que as
cidades médias e pequenas têm ou podem vir a ter, num período em que se
ampliam as escalas segundo as quais as relações espaciais se
estabelecem. As relações entre o local e o global têm sido o foco de
muitas análises, mas, neste artigo, privilegia-se a análise das
dinâmicas contemporâneas, tomando-se como referência as relações entre a
cidade e a região e as relações entre a cidade e o campo, para se
compreender como cidades pequenas e médias se reposicionam ou podem vir a
se reposicionar num mundo em globalização.

New urban nets: the role of small and medium size
cities in the globalization process
A significant set of economical changes, above all, has influenced the structures according to which the urban nets are organized. The increase of circulation shapes and rhythms has played a key role in this redefinition and transforms substantially the roles small and medium-size cities play or are likely to play, in a moment when the scales according to which the spatial relations establish are broadened. The relations between the local and the global have been the focus of many analyses. In this paper, however, the analysis of contemporary dynamics is emphasized, taking as a reference the relations between the city and the region and the relations between the city and the field in order to understand how small and medium-size cities reposition or are likely to reposition in a globalizing world.
Key words: Urban nets. Medium-size cities. Small cities
