Abstract

The urban restructuring and the restructuring of the cities has intercity and intra-urban determinatives and by combination of those levels of reality they are possible to apprehend them. That understanding process allows questioning two complementary and different realities: the scale of the net and the scale in the urban morphology. That level of discussion was brought to the mid-size cities. In this process, centrality questions are placed. The approach of this subject was made by prioritizing the economic activities in a double relationship between location (uses of the soil) and differentiated contents of the companies that qualified them in different levels of local and non local insertion and of informational density.
