The present text has for objective explicit the urban form of Londrina in its character (poly)centrality, making a fast analysis of the process of growth of the city and of the fragmentation of its space. We conceived that this fragmentation enlarges the urban segmentation, being a characteristic in the capitalist way of production, that is selective and of exclusion. We accomplished an analysis of the people’s flows in the urban collective transports for believing that are reinforcement of the process decentralization and of redefined of the centrality. We arrived the considerations that the city the importance of the Traditional Center in Londrina is still very big, but that the new central areas are being developed enlarging its attraction. We found a new centralities that attract people, goods, capitals, ideas etc in different scales (intra-urban and urban network) and of different standard socials, revealing the segmentation of the urban space of Londrina.
