El presente trabajo reúne los elementos necesarios para concretar la conformación de una nueva división territorial, como es el área metropolitana, para el conjunto de municipios que, bajo la influencia de la ciudad de Cali, están inmersos en el proceso de metropolización. En él, se ha realizado una contundente investigación, en la cual, de una parte, se corrobora la existencia del fenómeno de metropolización, y de otra, se aporta una hoja de ruta con posibles procedimientos a seguir para constituir el área metropolitana de sur del Valle y norte del Cauca. Para delimitar tanto la región metropolitana como el área metropolitana propiamente dicha, el área objeto de estudio fue analizada sistémicamente y cada paso de ese análisis se soportó con el uso de los instrumentos técnicos más apropiados.

Shattered Pictures of Places and Cities se adentra por las páginas autobiográficas, filosóficas y narrativas más relevantes de George Santayana discurriendo por sus viajes y geografías físicas en paralelo a sus viajes y geografías morales. Es un intento de ir más allá de la reflexión entorno a los orígenes biográficos del filósofo; de ahí que se recupere una indagación sobre su habitar el lenguaje y el arte. Santayana reconsidera los fundamentos del arte de la memoria clásica en su autobiografía, para formular una nueva propuesta estética donde el arte y la vida se funden y se confunden, estimulándose recíprocamente. Hila una filosofía del viaje y del lugar, donde se privilegia una noción del habitar que ilumina nuestra condición de nómadas -en la vida y en el pensamiento-, y nuestra trágica estable inestabilidad en este mundo.
