| Resumo: | The metropolitan regions institutionalized after the Federal Constitution of 1988 are marked by undeniable differences compared to the metropolitan regions originated from Complementary Law nº 14 of 1973. Based on this observation, this article seeks to understand some particularities of this new metropolitan framework in light of the study of the Metropolitan Region of Ribeirão Preto (RMRP), in the state of São Paulo. From the theoretical framework of metropolization, the objective of the article is to identify the state and private agents and understand which elements structure the RMRP. In this sense, it is argued that the RMRP has its territorial development ordered by environmental resources, transport flows, and radial polycentric interaction. Unlike the pioneering metropolitan regions created between 1973 and 1974, the RMRP does not have an industrial metropolis as the basis of its formation, and the function previously performed by this core is replaced by multiple functions of different scales and more related to territorial restructurings derived from regional urbanization. |
