This study sought to investigate the ways by which youth, given their daily dynamics, spatial practices and social networks, territorialize, identify with and take ownership of Goiânia. The main goal of our research was to analyze the territorialization of the migrant youth in metropolis of Goiânia, considering its spatiality and socio-spatial urban segregation. We also sought to characterize the socio-economic profile of our subjects and to map the major states/regions from which they migrated. In addition, we identified their daily spatial practices (work, leisure, school etc.), social networks (friends from school/church/work and family) and major factors and agents contributing or blocking the subjects’ territorialization process. We also performed a documental research to “reconstruct” Goiânia’s migration and production (occupation) process using public archives (City Hall, IBGE, etc.). We performed a review of the literature regarding the migration process as well the relevant aspects of its manifestations in the urban space. We also considered concepts and categories relevant to our research question such as youth, spatial practices, sociability, territorialization, and social-spatial segregation.The field research was done through the administration of questionnaires to public state school students, enrolled in the third year of high school. The goal was to characterize the socio-economic profile of the migrant (and non-migrant) youth to understand its spatial practices, social networks, conditions, and how these factors relate to the process of (re)territorialization in the metropolis. Based on our data analyze, we determined that our subjects, given their social condition, cannot fully benefit from what the city has to offer. This is due to the urban segregation to which they are subjected. However, they still enjoy their youth, doing what “young people do”, getting together with friends, even if these friendships are determined by their daily lives immediate space (church, school, work). Thus, the migrant youth condition and their process of territorialization will be affected by both internal and external aspects, with three distinct situations: effective, partial and restrictive. It is important to convey that is through their daily lives, relationship with spaces, the times and other subjects that the migrant youth territorialize, take ownership and (re)produce Goiânia’s urban space, in the end, transforming themselves.
