      Abstract

      The study of the main factors leading to the urbanization of the Brazilian Northeast is linked to the combination of factors leading to the expulsion of rural populations with the factors that attraction them to the cities. This is the basis of this article, aiming at analyzing the urbanization process of the Brazilian Northeast from 1970 to 1996. Using economic history, it is shown the relevance of its economic development in setting up its urban systems. Next, the impact of the migration from rural areas to the cities on the urban population growth is highlighted. In what follows, we approach the dynamics of regional urbanization and its link with the concentration of economic activities that took place in that time period. Using an econometric model, we estimate the main determinants of the urbanization process taking place in the Brazilian Northeast over 1970 to 1996.
