This article aims at analysing three Trip Generating Developments (TGDs), in different centralities of the Pilot Plan of Brasília, by using the Space Syntax Theory. It is our intention to study the location of these TGDs in terms of street hierarchy, potential for movement flow (syntactic indexes) and the traffic volume counts (Average Daily Traffic - ADT), taking into account the main roads that provide access to the TGDs. The choice of TGDs (Patio Brasil, Boulevard Shopping and Iguatemi) to be used in this analysis was based on the centralities found using the Delphi Method. It was verified that, according to Space Syntax, the TGDs occupy a rather strategic position within the whole system. This ratifies the importance of the use of this approach as a tool for urban planning, in order to complement other analytical strategies. Once the Space Syntax presents the movement potential in synchrony with the real flow in certain areas of a city, it is extremely relevant in helping choose the locations for implementing TGDs, be it in order to take advantage of existing centralities or to foster the development of zones there are not yet consolidated.
