Cidades pequenas em discussão: o caso de Ipueiras - Ceará

Abstract

This work deals with the topic “small cities under discussion: an analysis of Ipueiras - Ceará”. It is evident that large cities throughout Brazil present many urban and social problems, and it is in this context that small municipalities, such as Ipueiras, emerge as an alternative to contain the challenges that large metropolises face. The main objective of the work is to analyze the urban dynamics of small cities, containing a characterization of how the city of Ipueiras, a small city, fits into this theme, presenting its demographic, economic, educational, health and cultural characteristics. The research approach used was quantitative, as it highlights data obtained from various bodies, such as IBGE and IPECE, which help in the particularization of these cities. Therefore, it is essential to emphasize that small cities, such as Ipueiras, are fundamental pillars for a more balanced, sustainable and inclusive urban organization. Keywords: small cities, Ipueiras, urban.
