The Ministry of Housing and Territorial Planning (Miviot) presented the Urban Development Plan for the Metropolitan Areas of the Pacific and the Atlantic, and through a statement reported that " ... the entity will develop strategic guidelines related to the market and the management of the urban and rural land within these areas, and will also produce an updated technical, regulatory, political and administrative instrument for managing the territory, which will serve local urban authorities as a guide for the development of territorial organisational plans."

The Deputy Minister of Housing, Juan Manuel Vásquez, explained to Prensa.com that " ... the document also defines areas that can be used as development poles in the metropolitan area, as well as those in which interventions will not be allowed, because they are risk zones, national parks or river basins."

The article reports that "... The current urban development plan identifies areas such as Arraiján and La Chorrera, where development poles can be established."
