A previous study enabled these authors to verify that the regional centers of the Brazilian urban size distribution have increased their share in the generation of the country´s GDP, a result compatible with their higher dynamic productive performance in the period 1975/96. This study is interested in examining how the regional centers from the Northeast played a role in this process. It was found those centers from the Northeast were the main agents of the better performance exhibited by the regional centers. The paper measures the effects of this growth process upon the level of current regional economic inequalities that exist in Brazil and examines how the productive sectors (primary, secondary and terciary) in those centers have performed. Two important findings emerged from the analysis: i) it is clear from data that the known process of urban economic deconcentration that has been under way since the seventies in Brazil is restricted to the 111 most important cities from the urban distribution; ii) in the period 1975/96, far from occuring a better wealth distribution among those centers in the Northeast, what happened was an increased concentration of the Product in their large urban centers.
