There is a need to analyze the specifications of the process to redefine centralization, that is, its growing, its dimensions, its locations, and other aspects which contribute to its understanding in medium-sized cities. The changes in the spatial organization of the cities promote the appearance of new areas which have significant trading activities and services as well as a flow which express this centralization. During this process, there is the occurrence of the urban territorial discontinuity and the foundation of these new spaces which represent their fragmentation. This research aims to study the urbanization process focusing on the centralization aspects in Bauru-SP. Thus, seeking for a better understanding of the centralization and its consequences in a medium-sized city.
