The reflections elaborated in this book are part of the results of the thesis of Free Teaching in Urban Geography at UNESP, Rio Claro campus that approached consumption as a category of analysis. By understanding consumption, we sought to understand the main impacts on the production of urban space today. Observing the metropolises of São Paulo, Lisbon, Seoul and Dubai, a thought was built that considers the metropolis as a space-seducer. In this construction, a reading of the consumption landscapes in the referred metropolises was elaborated and there were several contradictions found in the consumption relations and in the production of the urban space. The recognition of the links between production, circulation, trade and consumption, within the process of generalization of merchandise, also gained importance, and thus other conflicts were pointed out.
