Municipal competencies as to planning questions

Authors

Abstract

A first glance at the laws as to local government in the countries of Ibero-america would lead us to hold that town and country planning is a function of local government in the greater part of them or so the paper expounds, A deeper examination would turn up structures shaky as to their autonom y and means of managing these and other competencies more. That decentralizacion of functions undergone during recent decades by some of these nations in point have, it is here felt, been little more than a handing down and about of competencies and employments while both means and their management have remained entangled within a centralized working methodology. Faced with these problems, a brief comparative study of planning competencies held by local government as within the ten nations that make up the area is seen to have been in keeping, albeit this has been undertaken with neither methodological pretensions nor yet again out of any wish to be Iitiginous. The secondary intent behind this study is the creation of such teoretical bases as would make the putting forward of future proposals profitable and by these enrich the critical discourse as to local government an d its chances of being able to meet the demands made upon it by city management.
