Description
Summary:In structured analysis from the theory of geographical space and the circuits of urban economy, this article aims to demonstrate the peculiarities and territorial dynamics that confirmed the insertion of the Uberlândia (MG) nodal point like one of centralities of road freight transport geographical network, whose territorial configuration consists of nodals and lines which together express the organization and structuring of this activity in the Brazilian social and spatial formation. Furthermore, it show a selective spatial process that privileged certain points and areas in detriment of others, marked by concentration and action of its agents. The research concludes that the inclusion of Uberlândia in the geographical proposed network occurs because of the close relationship between the agents of road freight and wholesaler-distributor sector.
