CRUZ, Beatriz Nates  and  VELASQUEZ LOPEZ, Paula Andrea. Rururban Gentrification Territorial studies in La Florida (Manizales-Villamaría) and Cerritos (Pereira) Colombia. Territ. [online]. 2019, n.41, pp.143-170. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.6251.

Our interest is the rururban gentrification on the rural-urban fringes2, which we call the third territory, that mainly embodies a city-like lifestyle in the countryside, marked by the residencies, urban services, and facilities that exist there. This phenomenon is a real explosion in terms of habitat, which is detrimental for the environment and the population, which has serious consequences for the rururban territorial-planning. Methodologically, we used the descriptive method based on observations and interviews that give us elements for a territorial ethnography. In the analysis, we used the local concept of territorial-dynamics and the territorial-planning regulations. The results present two population movements with different ways of life that settled in these places: neo-rurals between 70s and 80s with rural ways of life and urbanites in the countryside during the late 1990s and 2010 with essentially urban lifestyles. What marks the rururban gentrification is the price of rural soil rated as urban, the residential impact and territorial infographics or marks on the landscape that cause an untimely territorial transformation, without a mediated planning from local governments.

Keywords : Rururban gentrification; residency; Manizales-Pereira; territorial planning.
