BERNAL-MENDOZA, Héctor et al. Importance of the rural territories in the process of territorial restructuration: the case of the metropolitan region of the city of Puebla. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.34, pp.625-660. ISSN 2448-6183.

We expose the main contradictions between the process of territorial ordering and the concept of development for the metropolitan region of the city of Puebla; likewise, we emphasize the importance of rural territories, their actors and their culture in this process. In this framework, and on the basis of the territorial approach of development, in the multifunctional character of land and water and the theory of social capital, the importance of the reorganization and characterization of the space and their actors become evident for a more sustainable planning model and development with territorial approach.
