The objective of the research is to understand how the process of urban and city restructuring
of Marabá has been taking place, through the processes of center and centrality in the
socioeconomic dimensions, whose spatial scope are the three central areas of the nuclei,
namely: Marabá Pioneer, Nova Marabá and Cidade Nova in the period between 2000 and
2020. Although the analysis is based on the three intraurban spatial fractions mentioned and
with indicated temporal clipping, it was sometimes necessary to insert long-distance sway
mentions to to substantiate the scope of the research, as well as to go back in time in order to
apprehend the spatial processes that determined the formation of the Maraba territory,
apprehended in the forms and even functions that still persist and coexist with "new"
dynamics, establishing a dialectical relationship between the traditional-modern and its
resistance, coexistence and suppression. It became necessary to insert the discussion about
modernity in order to understand the manifestations of this phenomenon in space through
polycentric urban centralities, that is, materiality under technical support modern production
and consumption. Thus, the economic centers and centralities emerge, with their greater
significance of reconfiguration in the urban fabric, for services and trade activities, interpreted
as polycentrality by the technical-transnational content it carries. The phenomenon of
centrality produces substantial changes in urban content, which denotes the creation and / or
intensification of central areas, complexing the intelligibility of the relations of both inter scalarity and intra-urban spatial interaction. Given this reality, we carried out the analysis in
order to unveil the dynamics of the three centers that promote interscalarity by the facet of
services and commerce, the same factors being associated with the social factor that was used
to understand the relationships of intra-urban spatial interaction, in addition to an urban
subsystemic perspective, aiming to apprehend complementarities and competitiveness among
themselves. In this way, we consider that the contribution of the thesis results from the set of
empirical elements raised and assessed as spatial dynamics, whose results apprehend that the
concepts, center and urban centrality exerts significant importance when it is envisaged to
recognize the process of urban and city restructuring, through the treatment of secondary and
primary data, these, obtained through interlocution through various operational methodologies
applied to subjects, resident, consumer, worker, capital and state, highlighting that it is a
(multi) polycentric city composed of three interrelational polymorphic inter-scale centers, that
is, with its particular forms, whose spatial expression is it verifies in the urban landscape of
each center and the economic centralities with their respective interbred endogenous and
exogenous contents.
