As áreas metropolitanas, como a de Brasília – DF, são objetos de estudo da Geografia quanto ao processo das transformações espaciais. Neste processo, dois problemas são evidenciados: o aumento da densidade populacional, e um novo ciclo de expansão urbana que valoriza o capital imobiliário e o da construção civil. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as modificações espaciais e investigar a participação dos poderes público, privado e da sociedade como agentes modificadores do espaço, considerando a dispersão urbana a oeste do patrimônio.
