Abstract
The central scope of this article is to prove, in theoretical and empirical terms, that industry is still at the center of the socioeconomic changes experienced by Greater Metropolitan São Paulo (GMSP) and the surrounding territory in recent years. We will thus highlight evidence that the industrial sectors of GMSP provide the basis for the trends toward territorial reorganization of production in the State of São Paulo. Our objective is to demonstrate that notions of a purported post-industrial metropolis and the shift of industrial development to the interior of the State seriously hinder an adequate understanding of the role potentially played by Metropolitan industrial chains in positive development agendas.
