Methodology adopted was the bibliographic and the documentary one, focusing on authors such as: Christaller, Andrade Santos, among others. Documental research was carried out from State and Municipal Development Institute –IDEME (Instituto de Desenvolvimento Municipal e Estadual). It was identified that development, especially trade, had wide influence of federal regional policy, which expanded the poorest people`s income power, encouraging consumer demand, by increasing the amount of several shopping venues such as shops, supermarkets, banks, among others. However, typical Northeastern region problems are still felt present by population`s everyday life.
