Territorial (in)justice in the process of urbanization: The case of Manizales

Taking the specific case of Manizales (Colombia) as an example this paper shows how planning within the urbanization process has generated inequality and polarization since the 1930s and in doing so has brought about social injustice for groups lacking economic and political power.

El caso de Manizales Zuluaga Giraldo, Lina María Grisales Vargas, Adolfo León Taking the specific case of Manizales (Colombia) as an example this paper shows how planning within the urbanization process has generated inequality and polarization since the 1930s and in doing so has brought about social injustice for groups lacking economic and political power. An example of this are the self-help neighborhoods located in the southern slopes of Manizales where injustices are clearly reflected in the local space. Based on a historical study, this paper explains the emergence of urban inequalities and reflects critically on planning processes by establishing how urban space is produced in terms of social, economic and politically-based relations, which are inevitably expressed in the spatial forms taken by the city. Finally, we stress the need to search for territorial justice within the contexts of spatial, historical and social assembly to generate more effective tools aimed at changing inequalities and polarization. This could be pursued by implementing spatially-sensitive policies and practices, thus shifting from a distributive model approach to procedural-based participatory and decision-making approaches through social action and concerted policies. Teniendo en cuenta el caso específico de la ciudad de Manizales (Colombia), este artículo presenta la forma cómo la planificación apropiada en el proceso de urbanización de la ciudad, desde la década del treinta del siglo XX hasta la actualidad, ha generado desigualdades y polarizaciones, y con ello, injusticias sociales hacia grupos carentes de capital económico y poder político como los ubicados en los barrios populares autoconstruidos en las ladera del sur de Manizales, injusticias que se ven reflejadas en el espacio. Se explican las desigualdades urbanas surgidas a partir de un estudio histórico y se realiza una reflexión crítica frente a los procesos de planificación, estableciendo la manera cómo se da la producción del espacio urbano, desde las relaciones sociales, económicas y políticas, las cuales indefectiblemente se reflejan en las formas espaciales que asume la ciudad. Finalmente, se plantea la búsqueda por una justicia territorial, en el marco del ensamblaje espacial, histórico y social, que genere formas más efectivas para cambiar las desigualdades y polarizaciones mediante prácticas y políticas espacialmente conscientes, pasando de un enfoque basado en modelos distributivos a cuestiones procedimentales de participación y toma de decisiones, a través de la acción social y política concertada.
