Urban growth of Caracas.
Between 1936 and 1971 the population of metropolitan Caracas rose from 273 000 to 2 325 000 inhabitants, reaching in 1980 an estimated 3 330 000.
Considering the scarcity of land available (on the 66 300 hectares of metropolitan Caracas, only 37 200 are constructible, of which 24 000 ha are already built-up), the population density is very high. This makes the urbanization process even more difficult. Three major problems have to be overcome, which are peculiar to Caracas : a high percentage of marginality ; maladjustment of services ; obsolescence and gaps in equipment.
To overcome these difficulties and monitor the urbanization process, the VI Plan defines for each region a set of targets, such as, for metropolitan Caracas : the setting-up of sub-regions in order to create permanent and correctly paid jobs outside metropolitan Caracas and to confer autonomy to these entities with simultaneous integration into the national economy ; the implementation of a regional transport System combining various facilities.
