Problemas e estratégias de desenvolvimento no Espírito Santo

Abstract

In Brazil the accelerated process of urbanization and metropolization represents a serious problem. In the case of the State of Espírito Santo the control of the expansion of the metropolitan area, and of its dominance over the entire State, should be fostered by means of promoting policies for homogeneous development of the municipalities. This could reduce the enormous inequality between the main city and the periphery thus allowing a better economic equilibrium and social welfare.
