Despite the enormous diversity that has always characterised the urban phenomenon, interest in its processes and results has usually tended to centre on just a few specific realities. We have progressively increased our knowledge of etropolitanisation processes and large urban agglomerations, but know much less about other urban spaces, other urban scales. The international programme “Intermediate cities and world urbanisation”, which began in 1996, has tried to cover part of this void. In recent years, the constitution of a network of experts and local collaborators has made it possible to exchange information and discuss one of the most numerous and extensive of urban phenomena; intermediate cities. In this article, we present some of the conclusions reached by the programme directors following after considering and debating the contributions presented by their collaborators.
Pese a la enorme diversidad que caracteriza desde sus inicios al fenómeno urbano la atención sobre sus procesos y resultados suelen centrarse en pocas y concretas realidades. Sabemos cada vez más de los procesos de metropolización y de las grandes aglomeraciones urbanas pero mucho menos de otros espacios urbanos, de las otras escalas urbanas. El programa internacional Ciudades intermedias y urbanización mundial lleva trabajando desde 1996 tratando de cubrir parte de este vacío. La constitución de una red de intercambio de información entre expertos y colaboradores locales ha permitido durante estos años debatir sobre una de les presencias urbanas más numerosa y extensa: las ciudades intermedias. Presentamos en el articulo algunos de las conclusiones a las que la dirección del programa ha llegado tras los debates y aportaciones de sus colaboradores.
