The aparecidense urban expansion occurred from the construction of parcels spread in a disorderly way along its vast territory of 278,539 km ². At the initiative of the public or private power the urban configuration of Aparecida de Goiânia is the result of social actions strongly orchestrated by the Municipal Government. In this context, it is understood that the role played by aparecidense power public from 1963, the year of its emancipation was fundamental for the evolution of its urban space, especially in the frontier regions stage of several institutional conflicts with the capital. This academic research aimed to detect in the city of Aparecida de Goiânia, in the period between 1963 and 2010 the effects of the rapid conurbation process with the capital and the consequences of it in the production of its urban structure. In order to do so, will be analyzed political, economic and social aspects that spatialized, contributed to an exploratory study of the interference or not of the public power as historical agent in the configuration of the urban space. This problematization covers three fundamental points: firstly, making considerations about the city as a centrality in the region and the main characteristics that help the reading and understanding of the city; in a second moment, contextualizing the question of the urban frontier; and finally the municipal public administrations are presented in the period from 2001 to 2010, confronting the objectives of the Master Plan with the laws of zoning policies of the period, highlighting the discussion of aspects related to the redefinition of its urban frontier with the capital.
