Autonomía municipal y asociatividad : tensiones y retos derivados del Plan Estratégico Metropolitano de Ordenamiento Territorial (PEMOT) del Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá (AMVA)

Abstract

Abstract Metropolitan Areas are a contemporary paradigm for conurban areas, which generate challenges and tensions for the allied municipalities, based on metropolitan events that affect two or more municipalities. Metropolitan events that seem to go beyond the sphere of municipal autonomy when regulating their territories. It seems that such associativity could imply difficulties of a practical nature when it comes to ordering the metropolitan territory. The metropolitan areas as an entity with legal identity, has a legal framework in the Colombian law, by having as main norm the organic law 1625 of 2013 and in the hierarchical order denoted in the law 388 of 1997, it seems to be in the beginning that they constitute a limiting factor to the autonomy that the municipalities gained with the implementation of the political charter of 1991.
