CentroNorte

Centronorte is a geographic descriptor formed from the Spanish and Portuguese words centro and norte, meaning “center-north.” It is used in various countries to refer to a central-northern portion of a larger territory, and it does not denote a single fixed administrative unit. The term can appear in several spellings, including centronorte, centro-norte, or centro norte, depending on local conventions.

In planning and administration, centronorte designates regional zones, development corridors, or districts whose boundaries are defined by government agencies or statistical authorities for purposes such as infrastructure, investment, or service delivery. The exact borders of a centronorte area vary by country, region, and program, reflecting local administrative practices and planning objectives.

In urban contexts, centronorte can describe the northern part of a city’s center, a cluster of neighborhoods, or a commercial district located near the central area. The term is also used in branding for institutions and programs located in the central-northern zone, such as universities, research centers, or economic development initiatives.

Because centronorte is a flexible descriptor rather than a universal statistical region, its meaning is best understood from the specific source describing it. See also references to similarly named regional designations in different countries for comparative context.
