This article considers the social space according to the propositions of the "social areas analysis", critically revisiting an approach to urban studies that, between 1950 and 1975, had great importance for Urban Geography and Sociology of the United States. It begins with the identification of relatively uniform areas in urban space, focusing on interrelated social aspects, both on conceptual and operational levels. Two essential parts guide this work: first, a theoretical assessment is carried out of social areas studies, in its ecological sense; second, some perspectives on the application of this approach to the study of Brazilian cities are developed.
