The importance of studies whose focus is the reproduction of urban space, is reflected
considerably in the quality of life of city dwellers. The literature is full of case studies from
large cities. This dissertation in question analyzes the reproduction of urban space in Porto
Nacional. Currently, the fifth largest city in the state of Tocantins. Porto Nacional has an
estimated population of around 52 thousand inhabitants, and went through an intense moment
of urban expansion in the period from 2009 to 2018. And today, it begins to reap fruits related
to the immense urban voids provided by the excess production of new lots against
demographic growth far below expectations. The following work sought to highlight the
situation prior to the period mentioned above. Where the amount of urban voids was already
significant. Having as a landmark that highlights this situation, the municipal master plan
itself, prepared in 2006.
The dissertation had a bibliographical survey on the production of urban space and the central
concepts of the research: compaction, urban dispersion. It was sought through satellite images
to map the morphological evolution of the city throughout its existence in order to
contextualize the production of urban space in Porto Nacional. As well as obtaining general
information from the consolidated neighborhoods from the city hall, such as year of
implementation, number of lots, to provide an overview of the municipality's headquarters.
Through research with the municipal registry, we searched and analyzed the occupancy rate in
the city's neighborhoods, trying to present the issue of urban voids that already existed before
the launch of the new subdivisions. Information about the new subdivisions was analyzed,
such as the number of residential, commercial, mixed, institutional lots, areas intended to be
public areas, in order to characterize the land use and configuration of the new subdivisions.
Information obtained from the city hall and the companies responsible for the subdivisions.
As well as, by means of field survey, and with the aid of satellite images, we sought to
characterize the land use and configuration of the new subdivisions.
