Abstract

Este estudio caracteriza el Sistema de Ciudades de Colombia desde el punto de vista de la productividad y la competitividad, y analiza los factores que inciden en ellos con el fin de proponer estrategias y políticas para fortalecerlos. Se encuentra que las diferencias en la productividad por hora trabajada son las que explican en mayor grado las diferencias en el PIB per cápita entre las trece principales áreas metropolitanas. A su vez, las diferencias en productividad están positivamente asociadas con la densidad empresarial formal, el tamano promedio de los establecimientos formales, el capital humano y la presencia de clústers de alta productividad. Con base en estos resultados se discuten políticas transversales y verticales que permitan la consolidación de un Sistema de Ciudades en Colombia a través de un aumento sustancial de la productividad de sus centros urbanos.
