Abstract
In the current period, marked by processes of globalization and fragmentation, endows fluidity space, science, technique, information and rationality, in which part, also, the increase of unemployment, the precariousness of labour relations and structural poverty. In this context, the theory of the two circuits of the urban economy further strengthens as a possibility of seizure of contemporary urban dynamics. In this sense, in this article we discuss the theory of circuits of urban economics to three local cities socio-spatial reality - hybrid-, located in the extreme west of the State of São Paulo - Brazil. Our analyses are, mainly, in the understanding of the dynamics of the lower circuit of the urban economy, the possibility of dialectical reading between both circuits and, in an analysis that includes the interurban division of labor. Finally, think of the urban economy lower circuit for socio-spatial reality of local cities - hybrids, allows us to understand the relation between poverty and lower circuit.
