Representações da urbanização do Tocantins: pontos para uma discussão

Abstract

The reflections brought this work, want to expose keys, assumptions and interpretation lines of urbanization in Tocantins. Was held interviews with intellectuals and researchers dealing with the topic. It is also worth of questions that arise inside the institutional debate, state and common sense. It is argued that the interpretation of Tocantins, under the mediation of a territorial approach, assumes a glimpse of the game scales that put this boundary in connection to the country and the world. It is these connections that give meaning to their spaces and places, and therefore, clarify the position of Tocantins city in Brazilian territorial and urban dynamics. In addition, the space differentiality as active component, concrete and specifier. Can thus speak in Tocantins urbanization without exile from the outside and without disregarding the internal - and their dialectical mediations.
