    요약In the heart of Brazil's vast interior, far from its coastal metropolises, a distinct mode of urbanization is transforming the landscapes of the country's agribusiness frontier. This dissertation examines what I term "soybean urbanization:" a mode of city-making structured by the intertwined political economies and normative frameworks rooted in monocrop soybean production. While urban scholarship-particularly in the global South-has long centered on the challenges and dynamics of large metropolitan regions, this work argues for an expansion in analytic focus toward the rapidly growing small and mid-sized cities embedded within commodity frontiers. This move is justified by a particular conjuncture: since the early 2000s, Brazil has undergone a process of economic reprimarization, with primary commodities-especially soybeans-replacing industrial exports as key engines of national growth. At the same time, new agrarian elites have gained increasing political and ideological influence, aligning with conservative and nationalist projects while asserting control over land, labor, and local governance. In this setting, profits from monocrop agriculture are increasingly funneled into urban real estate markets, while new financial instruments-such as real estate investment funds-convert land and housing into financial assets. These economic, social, and political shifts are mirrored in the ways local actors mobilize ideals of "order," legality, and master planning to contrast soybean cities with what they frame as the "disorder" of Brazil's metropolitan peripheries. These transformations make soybean cities critical sites for understanding how new agrarian political economies and patterns of social discrimination are articulated in the production of urban space.The research follows an inductive and fieldwork-based methodology, grounded in ethnographic and archival work across three fast-growing cities in the state of Mato Grosso: Sorriso, Lucas do Rio Verde, and Nova Mutum. Methods included in-depth interviews with agribusiness elites, real estate developers, city officials, factory workers, residents, and financial market actors; participant observation across urban subdivisions, planning offices, and soybean farms; and archival research into colonization schemes, urban planning legislation and materials, and investment fund, land development and construction approval documentation. This approach enabled a close reading of how capital flows, planning instruments, and aesthetic norms come together to shape the production of the built environment and its underlying logics.The dissertation is organized into seven chapters. Chapter 1 introduces core framings and concepts, specific conjuncture, and methodological approach. Chapters 2 through 4 trace the historical emergence of soybean urbanization and the evolving entanglements between agrarian production and urban growth. Chapter 2 situates this mode of city-making within earlier colonization experiments and identifies its foundational logics: primarily private sector-led colonization with strong state support; the centrality of planning in settlement design; and the cultural imprint of Southern migrants. Chapter 3 turns to the early 2000s to show how agro-industrialization and new migration waves-particularly from Brazil's Northeast-reshaped the social fabric, labor markets, and housing in soybean cities. Chapter 4 follows how rural producers reinvest surplus capital into urban land markets, tying agrarian accumulation to real estate speculation and development, as soybean farmers engage in speculative purchases, rental investments, and subdivision development. Chapters 5 through 7 examine the contemporary technologies that shape and reproduce soybean urbanization. Chapter 5 examines how planning unfolds through a network of public and private actors who mobilize legal, technical, and bureaucratic instruments to enact the ideal of "orderly expansion," diverging from the redistributive aims associated with Brazil's post-City Statute planning agenda. Chapter 6 turns to architecture, examining how the widespread adoption of platibanda houses circulates through developer requirements, resident aspirations, and market incentives to produce aesthetic and spatial forms of order and distinction. Chapter 7 investigates the role of real estate investment funds in transforming land into financial assets, showing how agribusiness capital both enables and limits financialization through locally grounded logics of accumulation and control.This research makes three principal contributions. First, it expands the field of urban studies by foregrounding the agrarian foundations of urbanization, contributing to a growing body of scholarship that unsettles the binary between rural and urban-now in a conjuncture defined by the rising economic and political centrality of soybeans in Brazil. Second, it conceptualizes soybean urbanization as a distinctive socio-spatial formation that illuminates how agrarian capital, state planning, and global commodity chains co-produce new urban landscapes in the global South. Finally, it situates these cities within Brazil's shifting political terrain, showing how the spatial logics and everyday discourses of "order" resonate with broader projects of conservative modernization. By tracing the entanglements of monocrop agriculture, urban planning, and socio-political imaginaries, this dissertation offers an alternative vantage point for understanding how urbanization unfolds-beyond the metropolis-and the new political worlds it may be conjuring. It invites scholars, planners, and policymakers to engage seriously with the emergent frontiers of urbanization that are quietly but powerfully reconfiguring Brazil's political-economic, urban, and national futures.
