The main objective of this article is to make a diagnosis of the trends and characteristics of commuting in the so-called Macrometrópole Paulista (Macrometropolis of São Paulo), using the information available in the 2000 and 2010 Censuses. The knowledge of the current situation and of the evolution of this phenomenon may greatly contribute to the evaluation of the process of socio-spatial interaction and complementariness that develops among urban centers, where the new forms of location both of economic activity and of the population in general are already clear. The study of this phenomenon, therefore, contributes to diagnose the process of structuring of these spaces and, above all, to mitigate deficiencies in housing, transport, health and education policies, among others.
