Abstract

El propósito de este trabajo es identificar y resaltar la importancia de las regiones y localidades en el desarrollo y en la búsqueda de la competitividad territorial. Para lograr este objetivo se revisan los conceptos de región, localidad, aglomeración y competitividad territorial. Lo anterior permite plantear que los territorios no son un factor de competitividad en sí mismos, más bien, cuentan con potencialidades que pueden o no ser aprovechadas, según las decisiones políticas que se adopten. Para que dichas decisiones sean eficaces como factor del desarrollo, debe existir una visión común del territorio. En tal sentido, la competitividad del territorio debe basarse en aprovechar el capital acumulado dentro del territorio: físico, humano, tecnológico, institucional, social, cultural, ambiental y natural, y potenciarlo de acuerdo con las propias sinergias que territorio-sociedad-instituciones sean capaces de dinamizar, tanto en su propio contexto como en su relación global.
