Abstract

DUQUINO ROJAS, Luis Gabriel. Asymmetry Between the Intentions of Land Use Planning and the Urban Evolution of Tunja. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.2, pp.476-500.  Epub Nov 17, 2022. ISSN 0121-215X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v31n2.90031.

The article proposes an analysis of the asymmetry between the speeches of the territorial planning materialized in the plan of territorial planning, that tend for the common good in public policy, manifested through concepts enunciated in these plans, as; balance, territorial equity, and social justice, facing a reality where the city evolves at the pace of the interests of capital. Such dissertation was given in the theoretical and conceptual framework established by the historical geographical materialism, presented as a result the evident inequity resulting from the exercise of territorial planning. For this purpose, a methodology was proposed, through the analysis of the regulation of this, its discourses and its application manifested in the follow-up of the accountability documents of the city governments and in the materialization of the processes of urbanization in Tunja, that was developed with the review of a sample of cadastral updates and construction licenses.

Highlights:

Research paper, on the exercise of territorial planning in a critical perspective, evidencing its rhetorical content on territorial equity, that does not materialize effectively, nor serve as tools for balancing between private and public interest. Autonomous communities are the ones who can achieve real territorial equality.

Keywords : territorial law; human geography; urban planning; public policy; territory.
