In South America there is a relative consensus in associating expansion and deepening of the neoliberal system, with urban metropolization; Polynuclear systems, driven by the outsourcing of urban economies and the formation of new centers of consumption and businesses outside the traditional centers, which in turn show signs of functional obsolescence. This shared diagnosis emerged from the national capitals, is usually extrapolated to other metropolis originated from intermediate cities, in the understanding that would converge to the same, hiding possible singularities that escape the size or evolutionary stage. This is addressed for Chile, studying three intermediate urban systems with detonated but unequal processes of metropolization, generating and analyzing simplified cartographic series of location of services. The results distance the assumptions and consensus established from the large national capitals.

Palavras-chave : metropolization; functional organization; downtown and new centers; Chile.
