Abstract

The dynamic sociospatial of the small cities constitutes important study object for the Urban Geography. Accordingly, that work objectifies to present the Urban Profile of three small cities from Rio Grande do Norte: Nova Cruz, Montanhas and Lagoa d’Anta. For this, analyzes the economic picture and its specificities, with emphasis in the tertiary activities, linked to the commercial enterprises and the services developed in its territories. That urban functional reality has been generating relationships among those towns, starting from the economic dynamics and of the productive capacity of the which they are part. So, they should be understood as integral elements of the capitalist system, where they prevail singularities that they are expressed through the economic structures, politics, social and of its space interrelations.
