The factors of transformation of the territory are evaluated due to degradation and also considering prospects directed for this territory; this area with high economic potential due to improvement and discovery in 2007 of the salt layer in the Santos basin, provide scenarios defined for future changes. The proposal is the hinterland, located between the town and the water and is used as logistical warehouse of the transfer goods and movement of economic amounts. It is noticeable in this process the role of different agents in local transformations, thus it was possible to consider and compare strategic actions in other global ports, models possibilities of the transformation and territorial integration, the "hub-port's". The strategic actions in economy, governance, sustainability and urbanity are defined as inducing scenarios applied in the port territory, urbanized and pleasant and not only in a territory of logistics infrastructure. / Ao pesquisar as estratégias projetuais para a transformação do território do Porto de Santos, a tese coloca a hinterlândia - zona entre terras - como uma oportunidade de reconfiguração territorial em Santos, gerando maior urbanidade, e não apenas infraestruturas portuárias. A avaliação das condicionantes de transformação do território, por um lado devido à sua degradação, e por outro, considerando-se as perspectivas ora colocadas para aquele território - área esta com alto potencial econômico em função do avanço e do descobrimento em 2007 da camada de sal na Bacia de Santos - proporcionam cenários concretos para mudanças futuras. O recorte proposto é a hinterlândia, localizada entre a cidade e as águas, utilizada como entreposto logístico de transferência de mercadorias e de circulação de montantes econômicos globais. É perceptível no processo, a atuação de diversos agentes de transformações locais, o que leva a considerar e comparar ações estratégicas de outros portos globais, como modelos de possibilidades de transformações de um território, os hub-port s, portos concentradores . As ações estratégicas em economia, governabilidade, sustentabilidade e urbanidade são definidas como indutoras de panoramas aplicadas no território portuário, urbanizado e aprazível e não simplesmente um território de infraestruturas logísticas.
