The traffic collapsed
may reverse the direction of traffic on some streets, lanes may be established against others, installing new lights, or improve green wave may change small things, patches, that no matter how convenient they are, do not solve the underlying problem of a city that is shown collapsed and uncontrolled. Our capital
cries out to be the plan for the future and this is exactly what is not. With the best will in the world, technical and township officials to devise ways of resolving the huge traffic jams suffered by the city in peak times, but all that is done will be insufficient compared to cardinal problem, the lack of urban planning.
All previous projects to improve the transport system incorporating modern technologies to prevent noise pollution and emissive, and at the same time ease traffic congestion have been forgotten. He has also run similar fate the bright idea of \u200b\u200bmoving the Government House and the public hundreds of offices located in the central sector, a major new administrative center in the generous and available land of the former Arsenal Miguel de Azcuénaga. Sadly
going in reverse, it continues the absurd policy of most public offices congest the downtown of the city that is already clogged banks, shops, galleries, schools and currency exchange. Until it has acquired a hotel across from the Plaza to accommodate administrative offices. Not to mention the new legislature, urban aberration, which undoubtedly negative impact on one of the few residential areas are quiet in the city.
Our capital has been growing in a disorderly manner, many of its neighborhoods were born as a simple settlement attached to the original city. Already part of a huge metropolitan area consisting of the capital municipality more other municipalities and communes. The head municipality population is 550,000 inhabitants, according to 2010 census, but if we add the Las Talitas, Yerba Buena, Banda Rio Sali, Tafi Viejo, Lules and other nearby locations, well beyond the million. A large crowd peak hours is concentrated in a small sector. All you have to provide services and meet their requirements. and this does not always happen. A clear example is that the city must go through to get from Yerba Buena, where he resides, to the Banda del Rio Sali, where he works. You do not have the option of using a good bypass route that will avoid the chaotic city traffic.
San Miguel de Tucumán resembles in a way, and bridging the gap with the big cities of the world, the concept of global city developed by sociologist Sakia Sassen (*), in the sense that today makes up a large urban area with regional influence. According to the term, the city acts as a hub of resources, the more resources and skills focus becomes more prosperous and powerful. Tucumán is going through a period of prosperity and a bird's eye view, to visualize how it has changed the skyline in recent years, but also allows us to see the huge building complex disorder. A single disorder comparable to that we see in many other things citizens. Planning is what is required and is not a problem that can solve the capital's City Hall, is the provincial government should take the bull by the horns as they are involved in different jurisdictions. Remove the center's public offices appear as a priority in a new order and also seek alternative means of transport, taking the example of many cities on the planet. The last major work for the city was the opening of the Avenida Presidente Perón to the West, which enabled us to expand the urban area and open up the mountain, creating new districts and various other ventures. Today Tucumán works like this need to widen the space city \u200b\u200btowards the four cardinal points.
