La dimensión urbana de la marginalidad en la Orinoquia. Tres di11ámicas diferentes de su reproducción

The urban network of the Orinoquia region prcsents three different functional configu­ rations based on thrce different economic processes: Petroleum extraction, coloniza­ tion and coca growing.

The maín condusion is that these processes create and maintain marginality particularly through the urban  network they generare.

The  region's  historical  evolution  is  revised and the above mentioned three elements are separately considered, analysing how they affect the region's urban structure and how they articulare themselves with the nacional context. Such an articulation does not gen­ erare sustainable and integrated local devel­ opment processes. It is therefore, a marginal one.
