SUMMARY:

 
 
Amidst the challenges discussed about the Brazilian Northeast, the themes involved with the insertion of forms of economic development in the Northeastern territories are recurrent and urgent. In this context, we defend the thesis that: the regional position of Mossoró as Regional Capital and the conformation of its urban area, in the first two decades of the 21st century, are effects of the occurrence, in the Brazilian Northeast, of productive restructuring linked to the processes of multidimensional spatial organization involved in capitalist expansion in the territory. The problematic of the thesis is supported by the question: how does the productive restructuring of the Northeastern Sertão influenced the maintenance of Mossoró as Regional Capital and what consequences is it trouxe to the constitution of its urban space? As theoretical answers, two hypotheses were raised. First of all, it is proposed that the maintenance of Mossoró's position, as a Regional Capital, is in line with the effects of the changes in the Sertão productive structure, disseminated from the advance of the regional productive restructure. Another hypothesis suggests that the regional position of Mossoró and the production of its urban space must be understood together. Due to the large number of municipalities that are present in the area of influence of Mossoró, we delimited a region with 23 municipalities. The spatial area was called pluridynamic territory the intensive use natural resources (TPURN). In this scenario, the general objective of the research was to identify changes in the TPURN's productive structure, to verify whether they contributed to the consolidation of Mossoró's regional position and how this affected its urban area. The thesis investigation was carried out through Marxist theoretical and methodological contributions, using quantitative and qualitative techniques, with emphasis on the creation of categories of analysis that unified the theory of socio-spatial relations by Jessop, Brenner and Jones (2018) with the ideas of organizing processes of capitalist space by Brandão (2012). We identified that from the 2000s onwards, there was an intensification of the dispersion of productive restructuring in the Sertão through three vectors: the war of places; the national productive deconcentration; and public and private investments. They factors caused the acceleration of the actions of multidimensional spatial organization processes on the TPURN, increasing regional productive activities and consequently strengthening the conditions involved in the regional position of Mossoró. In this context, the concentration and centralization of capital in the municipality caused the expansion of its urban area and a spatial redistribution of the commerce and services sectors in its intra-urban area. We understand, from the data analyzed, that both hypotheses are true. Thus, we point out that the thesis defended is consistent with the reality of the spatial and temporal framework investigated. In this sense, we understand that the development of actions aimed at increasing the level of economic development of Mossoró should not only consider advertising its advantages. Effective actions must contemplate the regional productive context of the municipality and the capitalist transformations underway. Thus, other studies, considering the factors associated with Mossoró's regional position, can be carried out to identify challenges and opportunities for the evolution of socioeconomic and the urban they municipaly.
