Abstract
Description
El artículo propone la categoría de ciudades contrapeso como aquellas que logran tanto dinamizar su desarrollo de manera endógena y a su vez impulsar un proceso de descentralización y devolución de poder en contextos de Estados tradicionalmente centralistas y con alta hegemonía de sus capitales. El contrapeso supone una visión federalista o autonomista que logra cambios desde la propia articulación regional con base en una fuerza política territorial de impacto nacional que moviliza dichas ciudades en pacto con sus regiones cercanas. Desde el punto de vista de resultados materiales, implica la capacidad de crecimiento económico y demográfico para ser polo alternativo a la capital, infraestructura de ciudad global con lazos internacionales y capital humano avanzado como polo cultural y universitario.
This article introduces the concept of “counterweight cities” to describe towns that are able to generate an endogenous development process and promote decentralization in traditionally centralist states. This role is accompanied by the prevalence of federalist or autonomist thinking, supported in a local political organization able to inspire changes in the relationships between the different regions within the country. The political group that leads the process is also able to recruit backing in nearby areas. These initiatives have succeeded in consolidating their cities as alternate development poles, displaying dynamic economic and demographic growth, achieving expansion of a modern infrastructure, advanced human resources and cutting- edge cultural and academic assets.
