Abstract

International and national literature provides evidence indicating that investment in infrastructure is one of the key elements to achieve economic and social development. The departments of Córdoba and Sucre require an investment in infrastructure to generate competitiveness for companies in the region, reduce poverty and social inequality, help conserve or regenerate ecosystems that contribute to improving climate change, and avoid current transportation problems, which hinder urban mobility and commercial exchange within the country and abroad. This work identifies and analyzes the existing infrastructure needs in the departments of Córdoba and Sucre in four areas: (i) transportation, (iii) adaptation to climate change, (iii) culture and sports and (iv) aqueduct and sewage. In addition, it quantifies the investment required to close the social and economic gaps with the rest of the country, based on the most relevant or prioritized infrastructure projects. The needs of the territories are broad and there are still important differences between rural and urban areas. This implies challenges that require the strengthening of local capacity to move forward. **** RESUMEN: La literatura internacional y nacional aporta evidencia indicando que la inversión en infraestructura es uno de los elementos clave para lograr el desarrollo económico y social. Los departamentos de Córdoba y Sucre requieren una inversión en infraestructura para generar competitividad a las empresas de la región, reducir la pobreza e inequidad social, ayudar a conservar o regenerar los ecosistemas que contribuyan a mejorar el cambio climático, y evitar los problemas actuales de transporte, que dificultan la movilidad urbana y el intercambio comercial con el interior del país y el exterior. Este trabajo identifica y analiza las necesidades existentes en infraestructura en los departamentos de Córdoba y Sucre en cuatro áreas: (i) transporte, (iii) adaptación al cambio climático, (iii) cultura y deporte y (iv) acueducto y alcantarillado. Además, cuantifica la inversión requerida para cerrar el rezago social y económico con el resto del país, a partir de los proyectos de infraestructura más relevantes o prioritarios. Las necesidades de los territorios son amplias y sigue habiendo importantes diferencias entre las zonas rurales y urbanas. Esto plantea retos y desafíos que exigen el fortalecimiento de la capacidad local para lograr avanzar.
