Abstract

DELGADO CAMPOS, Javier. La nueva ruralidad en México. Invest. Geog [online]. 1999, n.39, pp.82-93. ISSN 2448-7279.

In many developed countries, urban diffusion shakes traditional rural areas so strong that agrarian activity is no longer one, nor the most important characteristic of "rural life", particularly in the periurban zone of most dynamic cities. This has been conceptualized as "new rurality" or "rurbanization", that may replace old terms based on center-pheriphery model by those of homogeneity and diversity issued from the new global ordering. Mexico seems to go in the same way, if we attend to the emergency of a periurban agriculture based on new productive technics (Lara, 1996; Arias, 1992), the reordering of production and consumption processes in most dynamic regions that isolate the rest of the territory (Delgadillo, 1993), at the same time of a sociospatial reestructuring of the national urban system (Aguilar and Rodriguez, 1996). In brief, it is possible to verify the persistence of rurality and deepening of uneven relationship between privileged centers and a wider rural periphery.

Keywords : New rurality; rurbanization; localization and relocalization; rural-urban relationship; rural space typology; flexibilization.
