  Ciudad Guayana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ciudad Guayana is a city in Bolívar State, Venezuela.
Ciudad Guayana was founded in 1961 as a project by the Corporación Venezolana de Guayana, merging two towns on both of the riversides of the Orinoco, San Félix and Puerto Ordaz as a single city.
Since its foundation it has grown from two fledgling towns into the Guayana region's most important industrial center, and a hub of growth in a typically underpopulated region of Venezuela.

 DeRLAS Vol. 4 No. 2 Ravuri
Ciudad Guayana, a city in Southeastern Venezuela, was one such project designed to produce a more equitable distribution of population and economic resources throughout the country.
The general consensus concerning the Ciudad Guayana project was that it failed in its attempt to divert both migrants and economic resources from the capital region (Friedmann, 1965; Rodwin, 1969; and Peattie, 1987).
It is likely that the growth of Ciudad Guayana that was fueled by inmigration and natural increase as well as the development of the economic base over the 1950 to 1990 period provided a suitable alternative for potential outmigrants from Bolívar State by 1981 and 1990.

Building upon the contradictions already exposed by Peattie and others, and examining Ciudad Guayana's current urban and regional reality, this projects investigates the national and local politics in the planning decision making and building practices of Ciudad Guayana, and their imprint in the urban form and quality of the city.
Despite their idealistic intentions, the planners of Ciudad Guayana directly caused this socio-economic and spatial polarization through their allocation of land uses and their failure to understand and engage the creation of the city as a socio-political process.
The second factor which should promptly affect Ciudad Guayana is the creation of a new city in proximity to it, for the relocation of displaced population due to the tragic floods and mudslides that happened in Venezuela in December 1999.
