The analysis of the transformation and persistency of rural life in the city focuses on the household which – as subjeceted to the market economy – shares, in it's ways, the prodution of a new qualitative space, this last, that expresses the shock and the coesistence of two distinct ways of life ( an European and an African); a new space that (re)produces the contradictions of a society whose componets are differentially inserted within social reproduction structures- concerns that explain the urban structure of the Nampula city. The urban space , thus produced, requires an overcome of the reductionism and simplistic theories and models- an exercises that constitutes the main ain of this dissertation- which point only the spatial duality thus constitutes the contradictions and conflits the socio- spatial integration and articulation, under aegis'State , contain and reproduce. Finally, the work outlines some reflections about the rural concerning the socio- spatial differences related to the westwrnization process, residential differentiation and to the daily life
