Abstract: The Brazilian urban growth occurred more intensively from the twentieth century, motivated especially by industrialization and the consequent migration of the peasantry, that is, it was the capitalist influence that consolidated the urban-rural inversion that the country experienced since the 1970's. The objective of this work is to analyze the urban expansion of the municipality of São Miguel/RN through the territorial dynamics associated with it. For that, data on the population, economy, instruments of territorial planning and subdivisions of this municipality were studied during the period from 2000 to 2017, obtained through the digital documentary collection and in municipal organs; and of interviews with city mayor, historian and columnist, head of the department of construction supervision, and residents of city São Miguel/RN. It was verified that the recent urban expansion of the city of São Miguel/RN was influenced by sociodemographic dynamics, growth of the tertiary sector, urban land subdivisions and existing directives in municipal legislation.
