SUMMARY:

The need to advance the discussions about small Brazilian cities in Geography is well known. Nowadays, even with the increase of academic works observed in congresses of the area, there is still a gap in the conceptualization and definition of these cities, above all, quantitatively and qualitatively. It is intended with this dissertation, therefore, to contribute to the theoretical and methodological debate about small cities from the Brazilian urban reality, elucidating the importance of studying them. We start from the assumption that there is a scarcity of research on the subject presented here, justified by several reasons, including the heterogeneity of definitions. Therefore, this research aims to present the trends of current studies, the areas in which they are concentrated and the definitions that permeate the theme. After the presentation of the theory that encompasses the theme, an investigation was carried out on the small towns inserted in the urban network of the municipality of São João del-Rei/MG, showing their functions and potentialities, aiming to reinforce their importance within the regional context in the economic, population, tourist and memory areas.
