The contemporary city is endowed with disparities and inequalities, as well as urban phenomena such as segregation, sprawl, gentrification and speculation, both land and real estate, among others. Understanding what contemporary medium-sized cities are like was the primary objective of this research, through which we sought to demonstrate how their demographic and horizontal growth has been happening, how their space was and continues to be appropriated by the holders of power and real estate capital, and how the economic-spatial dynamics takes place, with emphasis on the municipality of Rondonópolis located in the state of Mato Grosso and its regional influence. Real estate and land speculation are some of the most present phenomena in consolidated soil of the municipality, and, in order to demonstrate them, an exploratory methodology was adopted with a qualitative and quantitative approach, such as reading books and scientific articles, going through analysis of reports. technicians, laws, with the elaboration of maps, tables and graphs pertinent to the object of study.
