The presented article realizes one effort reflective whose main objective is to analyze the processes of decentralization and recentralization in medium-sized cities that, conjugated, result in new centralities and the redefinition of the urban centrality in these cities. The new centralities express the saturation of the traditional urban centers for the necessities impelled for the new forms contemporaries of reproduction and accumulation of the capital, beyond the imposition of (new) hegemonic times. Thus, new space forms are created and inserted in the urban space that favors the capitalist reproduction of the space: the space as social product urged by the accumulation of the capital. Of this form, it is inferred that the alterations in the economic dynamics determine that the city possess new centralities because the traditional urban centers are not more functional to the reproduction and accumulation of the capital, as well as the shelter of new capitals that if they space decentralize for the spaces that economically are presented as more propitious and income-producing.
