This paper seeks to analyze the effects and urban transformations that occurred during the period of globalization in the small town of Angol. his city is located in the Araucania Region, Chile. he results show that the neo-liberal globalization has modernized agriculture; forest plantations expanded and strengthened the service sector of the commune giving continuity to processes of rural-urban migration. While the older sectors of the city are experiencing urban renewal, those outlying districts have expanded spatial and demographic thanks to the construction of social housing, an issue which has resulted in increased small-scale segregation without urban fragmentation, or functional disintegration due to the trend towards policentralización triggered by neoliberal globalization.

The city of Coremas is located in the interior of the State of Paraíba. Its origins date back to the 19th century, when it started out as a small town called Boqueirão do Curema. The methodology of this project included the preparation of a bibliographic inventory, reading of selected works, and the collection and analysis of the current plans of small cities located in the interior of northeastern Brazil. The article analyzes the initial urban design of the town of Boqueirao do Curema, which features a spatial logic that recurs in other northeastern Brazilian towns. This demonstrates that some degree of planning was involved in the urban design of the towns in the region under study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
