Abstract

The aim of the paper is to understand to what extent the development and evolution of metropolitan
areas in Latin America is explained by the institutions governing it. For that purpose, the cases of
Bogotá in Colombia and Santiago de Chile are compared, considering that these metropolitan areas
represent two opposite models of metropolitan governance. The hypothesis is that even though
both cities hold two opposite models of institutions, the homogenizing forces of globalization and
the market are stronger than public regulatory action in any form, so that metropolitan institutions
have a low incidence in the generation of socio-territorial balance conditions in the economic,
physical and social development and transformation of these cities.
