CÃ"RDOBA CITY
Province of Córdoba
Argentina
Córdoba is a city located in the foothills of the Sierra Chica mountains on the SuquÃa river, the center of Argentina's most productive agricultural area. It is the capital of Córdoba Province.
Córdoba is a major industrial center, but retains many of it's historical buildings dating from the Colonial era.
As of 2003 Córdoba had a population of about 1,350,000 inhabitants, making it Argentina's second-largest city, the largest being Buenos Aires.
Since World War II, Córdoba has been developing a versatile industrial base. The biggest sectors are car manufacturing (Renault, Volkswagen, Fiat), railway construction (Materfer) and aircraft construction (Fábrica Militar de Aviones, currently shared between government and Lockheed Martin). Furthermore there are textile, heavy and chemical industry and some agrobusiness.
all times Córdoba has been considered as the technological centre of Argentina. So for example is here located the Argentinian spaceport (Centro Espacial Teófilo Tabanera) in the suburb Falda del Cañete, where satellites are being constructed and operated. The software industry (Motorola, Vates) and the electronic industry are advancing and turning more and more towards exporting.
