Resumo

The present paper analyzes the relations between regional spaces and the city, supported by the notion that spatial processes responsible for the integration of cities and regions have demanded the emergence of new concepts in recent years, such as the concept of “city-region”. Firstly, we focus on the question of scale analysis as a key problem which must be directly related to the notion of action. Secondly, we turn to the integration process between cities and regions and subsequently provide a brief discussion on the role played by medium-sized cities. This is followed by an analysis of the concept of “city-region”, highlighting its political matrix as well as some conceptual inaccuracies. We conclude this paper by stating our concerns about the adoption of concepts which often reinforce certain spatial hierarchies.
