Abstract:	This paper focuses on evaluating Brazilian mid-sized cities and how their morphological attributes, expressed by the centrality and the accessibility of the transportation infrastructure, are related with its inhabitants, implying limitations and potentials for improvements in their urban network. The sample is composed by nine Brazilian cities investigated by the ReCiMe: Uberlândia/MG, Londrina/PR, Passo Fundo/RS, Chapecó/SC, Dourados/MS, Marília/SP, Marabá/PA, Campina Grande/PB and Mossoró/RN. These municipalities are distributed across the country, in several states, and to some extent represent the diversity of the national urban scenario. The theoretical, methodological, and technical approach is based on Space Syntax Theory associated with non-configurational variables – geopolitical, economic, and socio-spatial data made available by ReCiMe. The study database was structured in a Geographic Information System and cities were explored comparatively, according to the present-day panorama and their historical evolution: axial and segment maps were developed along time from the cities’ foundation to 2017. Findings suggest these cities present social and spatial inequality patterns in fragmented systems, implying a general sensation of public unsafety. There are great differences among different social strata, creating an ambiguous scenario of richness and poverty, representing, to some extent, Brazilian social reality at large. Findings point to the existence of, if not a type, at least a similar pattern of socioeconomic structures, urban expansion processes, and socio-spatial inequality.
