Abstract
In this work, an attempt was made to build an intelligibility about the political interests registered in the process of creating the Umuarama Metropolitan Region (UMR). To this end, the research mobilized the legislation in force, the Metropolitan Statute, legal basis for the metropolitan dynamics and which establishes criteria for the institution of new MRs. The theoretical course addressed the literature on the metropolitan issue in Brazil and on the public policy process. The methodology employed involved documental research and field research conducted through semi-structured interviews. As a result, the constructed narrative tells us that the decision to create the UMR was based on political interests, linked to the status of belonging to an MR, real estate and voters interests.
