Summary: 
The research project deals with the productive restructuring in the port area of the city of Santos, evaluating, throughout the investigated area, indicators of territorial urban development, agents acting in the territory and the bankruptcy of areas that impacted sectors that could have induced the expansion of the so-called Hinterland , present in the support of industrial areas, in their respective urban areas. The choice is based on the importance of the industrial zones that permeate the interconnections with the port zones which, throughout the 20th century, suffered economic decline, generating bankruptcy in railway regions acting as drivers of the port stock zones. In both structures, both in Hinterland (defined as the structural zone of the city/port) and along its connecting areas, aspects of degradation amidst the urbanized territories along the edges have caused impacts in areas characterized by high potential density, of employability and for giving rise to low indicators of urban development.
The territory evaluated by its specific characteristics of productivity, geography and scale behaves in an autonomous and independent way. The Port of Santos is considered the second largest port in Latin America in terms of flow and territorial coverage, behind the productive scale of the Panama Canal with Ports Colón, Cristóbal and Manzanillo in the Caribbean Region. The research aims to apply strategies that enable the development of future project scenarios for the development of hinterland zones, established by the degraded railway structure that cuts through the city of São Paulo, using urban areas interconnected by the railway and that suffered deterioration processes by the productive bankruptcy and/or changes in their industrial production that characterized them. Also, promote territorial improvement actions to generate methodological tools supported by the restructuring and promotion of new economic cycles for the development of these industrial sectors that act as implementers to generate new characteristics to the current Hinterlândias, in order to expand production and distribution capacities arising from these sectors and destined to Hub-Portuaries. The work allows for the establishment of Economic, Governmental, Sustainability and Urbanity strategies, establishing applicability over pre-established times to delineate a permissive articulated urban network of new sustainable territorial solutions supported by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By understanding economic processes as the inducing element of serial transformations, it is possible, throughout the investigation, to promote the recovery of the port edge and activate intelligent and dynamic territories that encourage rearrangements of urbanized areas, employability and competitiveness through territorial hubs.
