Desarrollo Funcional De La Ciudad De La Habana
<(Revistade Geograf fan, vol.'XVIII. Barcelona, 1984, pp. 11 1-122. Desarrollo funcional de la ciudad de La Habana por ANDRAS KERl * Palabras clave: Cambios funcionales; ciudad de La Habana; época colonial; época neocolonial; población de La Habana, zonificación funcional de La Habana. La ciudad de La Habana, capital de Cuba, con dos millones de habitantes en 1983, es la mayor concentración de población del archipiélago del Caribe, asi como la ciudad mas importante por su peso económico y politico. La Habana muestra caracteristicas muy particulares en su desarrollo urbano. Desde su fundación en 1519 podemos diferenciar tres etapas. La primera corresponde a la época colonial espafiola con sus rasgos caracteristicos, muy parecidos a 10s de las demas ciudades coloniales fundadas por 10s europeos. La segunda se inicia a principios del siglo xx bajo la dominación norteamericana, y la tercera corresponde a la etapa socialista con grandes transformaciones estructurales, morfológicas y funcionales. Asi pues, en La Habana actual coexisten elementos caracteristicos de las ciudades del tercer mundo, de las ciudades de desarrollo urbzjno tip0 norteamericano y, desde hace veinticinco anos, caracteristicas de las ciudades de 10s paises socialistas. La época colonial La Habana obtuvo el titulo de ciudad en 1592, aunque ya desde 1553 era capital de la isla. Fue denominada por la Real Cédula <<Llavedel Nuevo Mundo y Antemural de las Indias Occidentalesn. Durante siglos la ciudad no tuvo que la de abastecer las flotas espaiiolas que iban al continente o de r España.

C:\Revista Economia Y Desarroll
Economía y Desarrollo Año 2004 Territorio y espacio en las desigualdades sociales de la provincia Ciudad de La Habana Dra. Luisa Iñiguez Rojas * Dr. Omar Everleny Pérez * * El presente trabajo reflexiona sobre las desigualdades espaciales y sociales, que emergen en el marco de la crisis y la recuperación económica en la década de los años no-venta en la provincia Ciudad de La Habana. Tiene como objetivo explorar los componentes precedentes y sobreimpuestos, en los que en la actualidad evolucionan las desigualdades territoriales de la provincia. De forma específica aborda los procesos históricos que brindan el sustrato de su heterogeneidad territorial interna. Los resultados argumentan las desigualdades territoriales de indicadores económicos y sociales, la urgencia de profundizar en la reconfiguración de estas y revela el significado de las precedencias históricas de los fijos yflujos espaciales, en las desigualdades Inter e intraterritoriales. Concluye sobre el significado de estos enfoques, en el diseño de intervenciones que logren equili brios distributivos que acompañen la recuperación económica, y en especial promuevan la distribución espacial equitativa, material y no material de esta recuperación. LA REPERCUSIÓN de la acción del Estado sobre la reformulación del espacio interno está marcada, tanto por el carácter contingente de su intervención, como por la expresión del pasado en fijos. Las determinaciones sociales no pueden ignorar las condiciones espaciales concretas que le antecedieron. Un modo de producción nuevo o un nuevo momento de un mismo modo de producción, no puede hacer tabla rasa de las condiciones espaciales preexistentes. 1 Profesora titular del Centro de Estudios de la Economía Cubana, Universidad de La Habana. -
