Abstract

En las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI Cartagena presentó un crecimiento económico sin precedentes. No obstante, la prosperidad fue desigual y un alto porcentaje de la población aún presenta enormes carencias y vive en la pobreza. Esta investigación se enfoca en el estudio del avance económico de la ciudad y, a la vez, en el estancamiento relativo en materia social, durante el periodo 2005 y 2018, usando la información de los dos últimos censos de población y comparando con cinco de las principales ciudades de Colombia. En la ciudad se realizaron grandes inversiones de capital en los sectores industrial, construcción y logística portuaria que ampliaron la capacidad productiva local. Por el lado de los indicadores sociales, se dieron avances en la cobertura en educación y salud, pero sin mejorías significativas en la calidad de esos servicios. En buena medida, lo anterior podría ser un resultado de los constantes cambios de alcalde, lo cual llevó a una baja gobernabilidad que impediría que la administración distrital pudiera proveer los bienes y servicios necesarios para mejorar la calidad de vida de la población más vulnerable. **** ABSTRACT: En las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI Cartagena presentó un crecimiento económico sin precedentes.
