This article aims to discuss regional inequalities, especially in less dynamic spaces, observing the new
changes in the territory, which have been evidencing a debate about the countryside-city relationship. In
this transitional space (urban-rural), various uses of the territory were observed, such as the emergence
of new forms of housing that are confused with spaces with rural features, settled in the vicinity or even
alongside small towns. In the process of urban expansion, rural areas are being invaded by the city, giving
rise to new spatial arrangements, which do not completely remove the old forms and functions, but provoke
a mixture of senses and uses, leading to multiple territorialities. Thus, this paper adopts the role of
provoking a theoretical revision about the territorial approach, based on urban and rural spaces.
Keywords: Countryside-city Relationship; Territory; Urban; Rural.
