This paper analyzes these transformations by using socio-educational, age and employment in industry and services indicators so as to verify if the spatial behavior was linked to these processes, putting them in perspective against the notion of progress and development. The results show an early concentration of employment in industry in the peri-urban area. The socio-educational structure retained high income groups in the downtown area of Concepción, but it has recently showed a more peripheral localization, in line with metropolization mechanisms and the liberalization of the land market. This article presents two moments of the city: one belonging to the idea of progress and the other is the notion of development; both concepts are discussed by taking the social geography of the city as a basis. En el Gran Concepción ha habido importantes transformaciones relativas al espacio socio-demográfico y a la estructura urbana en los últimos sesenta años, vinculadas al proceso de industrialización sustitutiva de importaciones y a la posterior integración de la economía nacional al mercado globalizado. En este artículo se analizaron dichas transformaciones mediante indicadores socio-educacionales, etarios, de empleo en industria y en servicios, buscando verificar si su comportamiento espacial se asociaba con los procesos mencionados, poniéndolos en perspectiva frente a la noción de progreso y desarrollo. Los resultados muestran una temprana concentración del empleo en industria en la conurbación. La estructura socio-educacional mantuvo a los grupos altos en el centro de Concepción, pero ha tendido recientemente a una localización más periférica, acorde con los mecanismos de metropolización y liberalización del mercado de suelo. Se presentan dos momentos de la ciudad: uno que responde a la idea de progreso y otro que recoge la noción de desarrollo, ambas discutidas en torno a la geografía social de la ciudad.

There have been important transformations regarding the sociodemographic and urban structure in Greater Concepción over the last sixty years; these changes have been related to the import-substitution industrialization and the consequent integration of the national economy within the globalized market. This paper analyzes these transformations by using socio-educational, age and employment in industry and services indicators so as to verify if the spatial behavior was linked to these processes, putting them in perspective against the notion of progress and development. The results show an early concentration of employment in industry in the peri-urban area. The socio-educational structure retained high income groups in the downtown area of Concepción, but it has recently showed a more peripheral localization, in line with metropolization mechanisms and the liberalization of the land market. This article presents two moments of the city: one belonging to the idea of progress and the other is the notion of development; both concepts are discussed by taking the social geography of the city as a basis. |
