Abstract

NAVARRETE CALIX, Daniela. Tegucigalpa through the Conflicts for the Urban Primacy in Honduras, s. XVIII-XX. Territ. [online]. 2017, n.37, pp.41-59. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.4846.

The present is a long-term historical-chronological study that seeks to answer the question about the impact generated in the past and present times by the conflicts over urban primacy in Honduras. This concept, typical of urban geography, articulates transversally with the events that manifested this conflict, namely: changes in the urban hierarchy, socio-historical relations, cycles of economy, transport evolution. To this end, we will address three key moments of conflict: the fight for the restitution of the Alcaldía Mayor of Tegucigalpa in the regime of Intendencias (1788-1812), the struggle to become the capital of the country in the process of invention of the Nation-State (1821-1880) and the urban dichotomy against San Pedro Sula (1920-1990). The latest, epicenter of liberal economic and neoliberal economic projects in the country.

Keywords : Conflict; urban hierarchy; modernity; primacy; local identity.
