From the current territorial scenario, in which the rural persists in all its identity, social and economic terms, the value of productive agricultural land loses extension, in a constant struggle to overcome the urban sprawl. Structural modifications of the peri-urban areas in recent decades present us with the consolidation of the processes of growth and uneven urban transformation, which under the prevailing neoliberal model and persistent, become increasingly visible in cities of intermediate range. While the metropolitan scale have not acquired even greater speeds urban growth. The study compares developments related to urban development of the area concerned to analyze the dynamics of urban growth and loss of agricultural land indicators. While cities midrange promote the consumption of urban land, there is an opportunity to highlight the wealth and productive value of agricultural land.
