Descripción
El presente estudio presenta de manera panorámica los diversos proyectos que materializó la Asamblea Departamental de Antioquia con el propósito de colonizar a la región de Urabá, entre los que se contaron el trazado de una línea ferroviaria y la construcción de carreteras –caso de la vía al mar–, infraestructuras necesarias para consolidar, primero, la explotación y la comercialización de productos agrícolas y mineros –como tagua, banano, ipecacuana, oro, platino y carbón–, que lentamente se integraron a la economía mundial, y, segundo, visibilizar la presencia de la institucionalidad en una zona tanto olvidada como inexplorada, históricamente.
