Hinterland as a promoter of territorial development strategies for degraded urban areas in port cities in Latin America.
Presentation:
The proposed research project is complementary to the project developed at the Synthesis Center, Institute for Advanced Studies – IEA USP, entitled "The Hinterland as a Territorial Promoter of Areas Undergoing Transformation Due to the Deindustrialization Process," conducted during 2019 and 2020. This project focuses on identifying in Latin America the territorial impacts resulting from the failure of infrastructures, leading to various degraded zones across the region.
The research presents an opportunity for port areas and their connections with urban and productive sectors, promoted through strategies that drive the "Sustainable Development Goals." This aims to foster interconnection networks with cities and their infrastructures, establishing improvements in degraded urban zones through the structuring and development of "Super Hinterlands."
The choice of this theme is based on the significance of port zones and their connectivity with productive sectors, and how they interconnect with cities and their infrastructures. Throughout the 20th century, mainly the industrial sectors experienced economic decline, generating various territorial problems.
The model allows for the expansion of potential zones of density, employability, and the enhancement of urban development indicators, due to this characteristic being geographically significant in Latin America. The focus is established on connectivity and the macro hub (concentration zone) of possible interconnection, present in the main ports identified in 2020 by ECLAC (Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean).
The research aims to apply strategies that enable the development of future project scenarios for hinterland zones in Latin America. It seeks to promote and foster articulated networks among new cities, more competitive port edges, and support in the macro territory through the application of methodological tools based on the restructuring of new economic cycles and more competitive urban territories. This approach intends to expand the capacity of industrial sectors, productive capacities, and urban distribution capabilities derived from these sectors to generate new characteristics of Port Hubs in response to territorial improvements.
