This paper proposes a study on the effects of recent changes in the capitalist production system upon cities morphology, especially in emerging or peripheral countries and more specifically, Porto Alegre, Brazil. Assuming significant changes took place in the logics of space production, made hegemonic in the last decade of the XX century and widely associated to the so-called “advanced capitalism”, a first attempt is made here to understand, systematically, the impact of macro-economic rearrangement on the local urban form.
