The process of transferring the federal capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia promoted a significant migratory flow in the territory of Goiás. Data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) indicate that migratory processes centered on the capital of the republic still have repercussions on the population growth of municipalities located in the vicinity of the Federal District. Among the municipalities affected by the construction of Brasilia, Luziânia appears prominently, since it lost part of its territory for the construction of Brasília and was later fragmented to create five other municipalities. The proximity to Brasília caused housing projects to be built in Luziânia to cool down the pressure for housing in the interior of the Federal District. The Housing Sets, in turn, originated three of the five municipalities created by means of the subdivision of the territory of Luziânia and are fundamental for the understanding of a process of metropolization centered in Brasília. This context marked by territorial fragmentation and by expressive migratory movements promoted the elaboration of a legal concept developed to enable the management of processes of metropolization that involve municipalities of more than one Federative Unit. This legal figure is the Integrated Development Region.
