Resumo: The fast course of urbanization and technological changes throughout the last decades create a new world power geography, in which large cities and regions gain increasing importance at global economic and political levels. The present Thesis examines those transformations, arguing that focus on local governments or urban spaces do not necessarily mean that Nation-States are loosing importance. Despite all changes, they remain the fundamental support for regional policies, hence giving sustainability and coherence to local development strategies. The case study concentrates on the City of São Paulo, privileged scenery to examine changes occured both in Brazil and on the planet. Based on the metropolitan economic centrality recognition - reinforced in the last years -, it discusses limits and potentialities of the municipal public power to face challenges in managing a City that is economically dynamic and socially uneven. The Strategic Master Plan, approved in 2002, is chosen as a paradigm of possible changes, directed towards land use policies. The Thesis points out virtues and eventual failures of the Plan. To restore capacity of action of the Nation-State, and also the different public spheres of governance at every geographic scale - from local to global -, to build a renewed democratic institutionality at all levels, adopting articulated regional policies and emphasizing economical and territorial plans to strengthen metropolitan governance are, at last, highlighted as requirements towards comprehensive economic development with social inclusion, in São Paulo, Brazil and the World-System
