A process for the synthesis of urea from ammonia. and carbon dioxide, comprising a reaction step carried out in at least two distinct operating zones basically at the same pressure, but having a different operating temperature , the difference being preferably between 5 and 60.degree.C, and subsequent separation steps of the non-converted reagents, wherein a gaseous stream is transferred from the first zone, at a higher temperature, to the second zone, at a lower temperature, and a liquid stream, containing urea and/or ammonium carbamate, is transferr ed from the second zone to the first, so that said gaseous steam is preferably at least 5% by weight with respect to the stream effluent from the first zone to the subsequent separation steps. This process allows a ratio urea/(urea+carbamate), in the stream leaving said reaction step, of more than 70%, to be obtained.< /SDOAB>
