La Región metropolitana de Bogotá, entre los sueños y la realidad

Abstract

The processes of urbanization and urban expansion in the modern world have brought countless problems to be solved. International experience dictates that a possible solution requires the creation of a new authority that allows adequate governance over nearby towns and cities based on planning, execution, and sustainability of common projects between an area of influence. This document addresses aspects of the creation, development, and difficulties of a Metropolitan Region as an associative figure to be used between Bogotá and its neighbors (towns), aiming to solve economic, social, and environmental problems with wide repercussions on the quality of life of the nearly 10 million people who live within that territory.
