This work has identified the social representations of the developed city, constructed by the subjects of three cities in the countryside of São Paulo (Jaboticabal, Olímpia and Bebedouro), as well as the development perception in these cities, which have been compared to the recent evolution of economy and to their own development. The qualitative analysis of our first objective was based on the approach of the central nucleus of the social representations, supported by the word free evocation technique (ABRIC, 2001), and processed by the EVOC 2000 software (VERGÈS, 2002); the quantitative analysis of our second objective was based on the answers to the statements, in Likert scale, about the condition/evolution of the cities development. Samples of 408 people were interviewed in each city, stratified by sex, age, income and schooling. The results have shown that a developed city is essentially represented by an economic dimension (aimed at employment and industry/companies), coexisting in a social dimension (aimed at health and education), making the human development paradigm emerge (measured by the HDI). Thus, although development continues to be represented by the old paradigm of economic development (based on industrialization), it has already incorporated attributes of social order. As the income increases, the economic dimension becomes less relevant, whereas the social dimension becomes more relevant in the representation of the developed city, as well as the younger people tend to associate less the presence of industries with development. Also, the size and the urban/demographical growth have proved of very little relevance, as well as the environmental dimension has been null (basis for the sustainable development paradigm), in the representations of developed city. The work has shown that, between 1991 and 2010, those three cities had significant progress in their MHDI (here considered as development measure, although it is...
