Las nuevas centralidades urbanas en Montería, Colombia

Abstract

The starting point of this research is the emergence of new urban centralities in the city of Monteria, which allowed the deconcentration of some functions and the decentralization of economic activities, which were offered exclusively from the traditional center. The main objective is to determine its socioeconomic impact and its effects on the urban land uses and morphology of the city. The central hypothesis is that the traditional center lost the supremacy over the supply of food, financial and recreation services, before the new urban centralities. The work concludes that the new centralities are an important employment alternative, in this city, they provide greater security than the center, and significantly impact the urban morphology.
