CORREA RAMIREZ, JHON JAIME; SAMACA ALONSO, GABRIEL DAVID  and  MARTINEZ BOTERO, SEBASTIAN. Centennial commemoration, political management, and urban projects in Pereira: 1947-1963. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2022, vol.17, n.41, pp.241-268.  Epub Dec 22, 2022. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.41.2022.3376.

The article reconstructs the political dynamics that preceded and defined the organization of the first centenary of Pereira in urban matters. Within the framework of the modernization that the country underwent between the 1940s and 1960s, the interests and city proposals formulated by the main public and private commemoration promoters are identified. Although it coexisted with the first steps of urban planning, the different projects planned were guided by the tension and collaboration among the successive local governments and civic entities. This investigation is based on documentation from the Mayor's Office, the Municipal Council, the national and regional press.

Keywords : commemoration; modernization; urbanization; public spirit; local government; Pereira.
