Abstract

This article aims to contribute to the debate on the process of socio-spatial formation and urban space production in the city of Porto Velho, the capital of the state of Rondônia, an Amazonian city resulting from national and international frontier incorporation processes. In this sense, the analyses presented here were directed towards the recovery of the historical process of constituting this agglomeration, with a temporal focus on the period from the 19th century to the present day. This article highlighted the aspects that guided the city's formation, emphasizing the economic, political, social, and cultural relations that contributed to the occupation of space, demonstrating that the spatial dynamics of Porto Velho have been associated with economic cycles and external activities since the city's inception, a condition that persists.

Keywords: Porto Velho City; Urban Space; Sociospatial Formation.
