The urban morphology and it's dynamic has been the study of many authors, from different schools of Geographical thinking through out the years, and it's conception goes beyond the urban form, representing a (re)structuring of space through social economical process, agents, territorial work division and geographical situation of de county. The participation of shopping centers, as a result and materialization of the interests of commercial and real estate agents e its relations with the State, in a intermediate cities is significant in the (re)production of urban space and the expression of new centralities. The shopping center acts transforming the old - churches, universities - in something new, altering the landscape e in some cases maintaining some old forms with different social content and in other cases completely eliminating old form and replacing them with new ones. The opening of two shopping centers in Londrina (PR) - the Catuaí Shopping and Royal Plaza Shopping - redefined the expression of urban centrality, both local and regional. Using literature, data collected in the field and historical dada, we pretend to prove the central role, in different scales of the urban system and the city, of the shopping center in an intermediate city as Londrina (PR).
