Urban pact planning
Introduction
In the Territorial Planning Plans (POT) there is a territorial conceptualization established for Colombian municipalities, in the field of Colombian urban planning, to plan and organize their territory. The Territorial Planning and Management Units are given as a basic element to know and characterize the territorial system on which action must be taken and intervene in the development and implementation of public policies and, from there, define the structure on which the territorial intervention will proceed, taking into account the inclusion of the environmental component, such as biotic and abiotic factors, productive development, political and institutional strengthening, following the guidelines for territorial ordering and planning.
The Territorial Planning and Management Units most used to organize the areas of a territorial entity are the Rural Pplanning Units** and the SpatialFunctioning Units. The best-known example at the national level is the "UPL" *(Local Pplanning Uunits)* of Bogotá.
Rural Planning Units
The Rural P**planning Units (UPR) are an intermediate-scale planning instrument that develops and specifies the Territorial Planning Plan for rural land; From which it can be concluded that these cannot exceed or contradict these plans but rather regulate their content.[1].
This establishes the groups of villages "Vereda (Colombia)"), which are the guide for the territorial development of parts of the rural area of the municipality associated with hydrographic basins, making them visible in the POT or PBOT, based on focused projects, programs, norms and guidelines at three scales: populated centers, dispersed area and urban-rural border.
The UPR require consultation with the competent environmental authority and will be regulated by means of an Agreement, which is a legal act constructed between the Mayor's Office and the communities, approved by the municipal or district Council, constituting a mandatory pact.
