The structure of land use regulations in Colombia is still very centralized as its represented in 1991 constitution, however, is based on national normativity and projects, leaving real instruments to local government which regulate directly the land use plan by the POT.

vertical planning hierarchy, but must be compatibleNo indication of parameters in the law (i.e. public space) which is basically left to the planner. Implementation/respect challenges. Hierarchy is clear and so are steps: to prepare detailed plans and assign plots, a general or partial plan must be adopted first. However, detailed plans are often designed and adopted first, to respond to land request in fast-growing settlements

policy oriented and indicative in nature

compatibility of provincial-city and barangay level

In Spain all urban planning competences are delegated to regions (Comunidades Autonomas)

planning authority with the municipality;principle of countervail-ing influence (national level – city level)(gegenstromprinzip)

National government has recently decentralized most responsibilities to provincial and municipal level. National government is involved only if a development is of national importance (e.g. main airports and harbours) or when it concern inter regional development (more provinces involved)
