Resumo: Due to the urban growth that occurred in the late twentieth century, many Brazilian cities were aggregated resulting in a continuous network of urban communities called conurbation or metropolitan area. A similar phenomenon happened in Greater Vitoria, whose metropolitan area was officially created in 21/02/1995, and currently comprises seven counties. Four of them stand out forming an area which in this study is called the Central Metropolitan Area, composed by Vitoria, Vila Velha, Serra, and Cariacica. A number of factors are responsible for the expansion of the urban area, including population and economic growth and environmental aspects. However, the transport factor has an important position among them, since it provides the mobility of people and businesses, and interconnection of built spaces. This study presents the interdependence between major roads and the urban occupied area, based on the influence of the districts and industrial areas, the performance of the housing market, the importance of public transportation and geographical aspects like relief and hydrograph. The road transport and its network are related to the spatial configuration of the urban sprawl. Actual and future projects are analyzed with the help of Geographic Information System to predict the vectors of urban flow growth. The results of this study highlighted the interdependence between urban sprawl and the road system, through the observation of some areas in the central metropolitan where the establishment of major roads contributed to the expansion or urban density, or the other way round. Areas that are likely to growth are among those which have prevision of receiving large investments in road infrastructure.
