Abstract

The transformations on urbanization are usually directed initially to the univocal perspective in which "rurals precede the", just as these publicize industrial change has modernization as a landmark. However, through bibliographic research based on authors such as Becker (2013), Browder and Godfrey (2006), Oliveira and Schor (2009), it is intended to demonstrate that the urbanization process in the Amazon occurred in an inverse and different way from the other Brazilian regions, is a version that is not widespread in the country.

This article can be understood as a provocation in order to spread the still Amazonian version that can be punctuated as the set of symbolic symbols and urban materials, which form a concrete specification that actively targets the region for stigmatization. The structure of power relations in the region that claim a subordinate position of the central region. This analysis is proposed having as a parameter the analysis process in one of its main metropolises: the city of Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas.
