| dc.description.abstract | Metropolitan plans often converge in their general themes despite the fact that, ultimately, they cannot be typified. In terms of spatial planning scales, several European cases show that metropolitan planning holds a fluctuating institutional status that oscillates between local, regional and national levels. It is precisely this “administrative lightness” that allows metropolitan areas to constitute schemes of significant technological innovation yet also of major socio-political conflict (Elinbaum & Galland, 2015). Unlike the European casuistry, which has been widely investigated and debated over the past two decades, the specificity of metropolitan planning in Latin America remains largely unexplored. Such deficiency is relevant to the extent that the Latin American context has historically been a region where diverse directions of spatial change as well as combinations of spatial models and planning tools have been developed and experienced. The fertility of these changes, however, tends to takes place deprived of institutional reforms capable of providing a consistent and steady legislative and cultural framework. In this light, the current Latin American metropolitan planning (or non-planning) situation could also be interpreted as a “testing” framework of innovation through which some actors benefit while others end up being excluded. | |
