Infobae Reports: Córdoba Emerges as Alternative Capital for Argentina
In a thought experiment, researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify a suitable alternative capital for Argentina, should the country decide to relocate its capital away from Buenos Aires. According to a report by Infobae, Córdoba has been identified as the most suitable city to assume this role.
The analysis, conducted by Infobae, used an AI system that evaluated and weighted objective variables, excluding opinions and preferences. The study considered factors such as geographical location, population size, urban infrastructure, national and international connectivity, and the presence of public and educational institutions.
Córdoba, located in the centre of the country, offers a more balanced access point from various regions, which could facilitate the deconcentration of political and administrative power. As Infobae notes, "This geographical advantage contributes to a more equitable distribution of access to state management, potentially improving the articulation between the national government and the territories of the interior."
The city boasts a consolidated transportation system, including an international airport and road and rail connections with other Argentine cities. These elements reduce the need for significant initial investments to ensure the mobility of officials, administrative supplies, and services associated with the functioning of a capital.
Córdoba also features developed telecommunications networks and an urban ecosystem that integrates universities, hospitals, and public offices, facilitating the settlement of state organisms without starting from scratch. As Infobae reports, "Córdoba has a local government structure with experience in urban planning, public policies, and interjurisdictional coordination. These antecedents can reduce the margins of uncertainty in the face of a potential large-scale institutional transition."
The analysis also highlights the presence of historical institutions of higher education and technical training centres, which implies the existence of a base of trained human resources to sustain the daily functioning of the state apparatus.
From an economic perspective, Córdoba maintains a balance between industrial, agricultural, technological, and service activities, reducing dependence on single sectors and contributing to a more effective integration of state and productive functions.
Infobae notes that the AI analysis did not consider factors such as the cost of living, accommodation capacity, and infrastructure available for hosting congresses, legislative sessions, or institutional summits. However, Córdoba shows higher levels of preparation compared to other cities evaluated in the same process.
The Infobae report emphasizes that the choice of a capital involves political and symbolic factors that are not part of the analysis. The AI system only responds to a technical simulation exercise based on observable parameters and without subjective interpretation.
The report concludes that, based on the processed criteria – territorial position, urban structure, connectivity, institutional capacity, and economic balance – Córdoba is positioned as the city with the most objective conditions to assume the role of national capital if Buenos Aires were to cease fulfilling that function.
The full report by Infobae provides an in-depth analysis of the factors that led to Córdoba being identified as the most suitable alternative capital for Argentina. As the researchers note, "The AI analysis does not establish a need for relocation but rather responds to a simulation exercise based on technical parameters."
