This article analyzes the urban development applied in great Brazilian cities according to a praxiological logic, in which human action is the main factor of expansion and a reaction against the economic and political incentives in a given region. Cultural, geographical, and beadledom factors condition urban expansion, and analyzing their interaction allows us to understand the dynamics behind it. Great Brazilian cities showed peripheral expansion, in which ordinary citizens can only buy houses away from the center of cities; Impositions of the Master Plan law turns properties artificially to more expensive, leading the periphery to anarchism. Bureaucrats and politicians are not affected by market incentives that induce a lack of strategic planning and inadequate human and financial resources allocation.
