Abstract

This research, based on a territorial approach to development,
defines its study object as the existing contradiction in territorial
planning carried out in Puebla’s metropolitan region; we
attempt to sustain the thesis that these policies have actually
been designed for territorial restructuring, in an unbalancing
sense of the term, which has made the contradiction between
the city and its rural territories more acute. We suggest some
methodological elements that include this spatial element,
notably segregated by state development policies since a little
more than 30 years ago. The importance of the historical
perspective in Puebla’s metropolitan region is analyzed, as a
relevant empirical reference, as well as the role of the central
actors in the problematic being studied.
