Abstract

The document attempts to provide an overview of certain elements that determine the processes of urban planning and management. The assumption is that the evolution of some of these elements is beyond the control of municipal planning instruments. This situation is illustrated on the case of the Municipal governments are deeply influenced by two legal instruments; the Municipal Lax of 1985 and the Tax reform ditto of 1986. In order to present the effect of these instruments a brief description of the urbanization process in Bolivia and the institutional set-up in which it takes place is given. As concluding remarks, the document suggests further action in overcoming purerly spacial and physical approaches to urban planning by their more realistic insertion in the overall national development process.
