Summary: The organization of the production process in the clothing industry productive spatial circuit is characterized by a large amount of outsourcing and subcontracting. The productive restructuring process based on the flexibility of
the production process, external competition and the constant changes in fashion contribute for the companies that control production to increase outsourcing and subcontracting of home and non-domestic factories services. Hence, this thesis makes an articulation between the spatial circuit of production and the theory of the two circuits of the urban economy, seeking to understand the current productive organization of the clothing industry in Colatina city, ES, and also how this productive circuit generates a territorial division that defines the activities of both upper and lower circuit, as well as the activities of the marginal upper circuit.
Futhermore, it tries to understand how this same productive organization of companies and factions in the city, based on a relationship of neighborhood,
cooperation and mutual learning, confer a singularity to the clothing industry in
Colatina. From this analysis, it was possible to understand that the two circuits of the urban economy continue to relate to each other in a complementary and
subordinate way, from increasingly broader productive circuits, in which the
higher one is strengthened based on the increasing degradation of the working
conditions of the lower circuit, specially the seamstresses of the home-based
factories, and on the expansion of the higher marginal circuit. On the other hand, this study also reveals that the relationship of cooperation, competition, and innovation, characteristics of an industrial district, allow the clothing industry in Colatina to remain active up to this day.
Keywords: Clothing industry; Two circuits of the urban economy, Productive
spatial circuit; Productive restructuring.
