Viabilidad y Desafíos del Área Metropolitana en el Piedemonte Llanero del Meta Entre Acacias, Villavicencio y Restrepo

Abstract

The present investigation, having as its main objective the analysis of the feasibility of establishing a metropolitan area in the Piedemonte Llanero region of Meta between the municipalities of Acacias, Villavicencio and Restrepo within the framework of Administrative Law, examines not only the social challenges but also the economic, environmental and administrative challenges that the region faces due to its accelerated urbanization and metropolization processes, considering the local context and all the implications that the Colombian regulations regarding territorial planning and sustainability bring; In particular, the research focuses on important provisions established by the National Constitution, Law 1454 of 2011 and 1625 of 2013, which govern the creation and management of metropolitan areas and the decentralization of territorial planning, in addition to establishing the organization and operation of metropolitan areas, the relationship between municipalities and their powers. Likewise, the analysis of this regulatory framework allows us to identify within the study, the challenges of governance such as the lack of coordination between the various government entities in order to propose legal and administrative solutions to improve territorial integration and promote sustainable development between the municipalities of Acacías, Villavicencio and Restrepo, optimizing public management. In the same sense, the factors that determine regional competitiveness and economic development are examined, which allows us to offer alternatives for efficient and sustainable urban planning within the country's decentralization model.
