This research has as its theme the production of the meanings of nature in the process of urbanization in Dourados/ MS. During its elaboration, the nature was understood, not as a priori, but as a social production, that within the capitalist urbanization gains specific meaning. Its main objective was to understand the production of the meanings of nature and their unfolding from the consolidation of Dourados / MS while regional agricultural pole, since the 1970s, with emphasis on the roles played by urban and environmental planning activities. We start from the hypothesis that behind the appearance of "Model City", an allusion to intraurban spatial arrangements, produced in the wake of planning activities, resided singular nuances and strategies of unequal production, appropriation and consumption of nature in the urban. Having the historical and dialectical materialism as a theoretical light for scientific investigation and support for the elaboration of the methodological set, from the current landscape of the city, it was sought to problematize the purpose that has served, in the last instance, the senses of the production of nature and in the urban space reproduced ever since. Among the aspects revealed by the research draws attention to the conservationist ideology locally forged from the urban valley bottoms, which have gained their own contours along with the strategies of expansion of the local real estate market in the context of the world of the merchandise.
