Abstract

The central question that guided this study was to analyze the roles and meanings of small towns in a metropolitan area, as an empirical reference the Metropolitan Region of Campinas-SP. Six aspects that enable the identification of particulars in the characterization of small towns before the metropolitan regional context were evaluated: the old and new interactions with the rural; small towns with high industrial development; specialized centers; the dormitory towns; the closest relations of sociability; and the role of local government in the face of regional governance.
