Brazilian metropolization evidence captured in the 2022 Census

Resumo

Data from the 2022 Demographic Census, already available, allowed us to analyze the main evidence of metropolitanization in the country. These findings were seen in the evolution of population distribution, the degree of urbanization, the consolidation of large urban concentrations, metropolitan and non-metropolitan, and their vectors of expansion. The analysis is complemented by characteristics of households and their sanitation conditions, and of residents, in their composition by color or race, age profile and gender ratio. Four analysis segments were considered, which include the 5,570 Brazilian municipalities, meticulously covered by the Census. With the results of the data exploration, in addition to portraying population processes, major challenges for research, public policy formulation and urban governance are highlighted.
