Estrategia de desarrollo territorial del Atlantico EDTA
The Atlantic Department is the ocean gate of Colombia. Barranquilla, the capital of the department, is the intermodal (river-sea) port for export-import of goods for the country. This strategic position provided by its logistical assets allows for a backcountry development, which is currently greatly underused. The strategy for territorial development coordinates both the economic and social potential in a framework of infrastructure investments, accessibility and environmental protection and improvement.
