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.
