Spatial Clipping Configurating East Antioquia: from Regional to Overlapping of Territorialities

The process of transformation of the Antioquia East and its configuration as a space of globalization, allows us to understand it today as a sum of spatial cuts crossed by a superposition of territorialities, which tension the use and appropriation of that space, according to the multiple interests of governing, ordering and engaged. The idea of the east, as a homogeneous administrative region, which is still used in planning processes, lacks geographical and political support. Since the middle of the 20th century, the industrial movement deployed from Medellín forged edge polygons, producing an organization functional to a project of competitiveness/development; emerging with it solidarity territorialities linked to an idea of spatial order, others, agency a social-political project of vindication and autonomy of the metropolis, forming a multiplicity of forms of cutting, where the horizontal territorial dynamics become permeable to the actions of the hegemonic and normative project.
