LOPES, Rosa e COSTA, Soneide. The configuration of commercial activity in the context of the expansion of the urban space of Natal / RN / Brazil. GOT [online]. 2018, n.13, pp.223-246. ISSN 2182-1267. https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.13.010.
The commercial activity and the city are intrinsically related. Both may be associated with their origin or the underlying processes driven by social reproduction in space. The objective of the article is to analyze the commercial activity, in the context of the production of the urban space of Natal / RN-Brasil, in the last four decades. It was considered the urban expansion of the city and the dynamics of consumption, according to the implementation of traditional and modern commercial forms. The study is based on bibliographic, documentary and field research. The study revealed that the urban expansion of Natal was accompanied by decentralization, diversification and modernization of commerce in other spaces of the city, besides the traditional center composed by the districts Alecrim, Cidade Alta and Ribeira. This process resulted in the formation of new urban centralities.
