Intra-metropolitan migrations are part of the urban expansion of Brazilian metropolises. The demographic metropolitan exchanges between core and periphery contributed so importantly to the trajectory of the metropolitan population peripheral. This article aims to analyze the evolution of intra-metropolitan migration flows in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte based on data from 1980, 1991, 2000 and 2010 population censuses. As from the metropolitan core and the urban expansion metropolitan vectors are outlined the main trends of these flows. The results show that migration within the metropolitan area was oriented mainly towards core-periphery, but with important differences between urban expansion vectors, as to the force of attraction flows. The migrations towards periphery-periphery and periphery-core gain intensity and diversify the direction of intra-metropolitan migration.
