El rol del catastro en la nueva administracion territorial de America Latina
Puimetto, Mario Andres & Diego Alfonso Erba
During the last two decades, Latin America has developed a significant amount of cadastral reform and updating projects. The expected results were ambitious and the investments had different magnitudes. In that same period, transcendent social and political events happened, making even more complicated the urban agendas. New challenges for local governments came up: to reduce the informality, to intervene in the land market toward to facilitate land access, and to finance the urban development with own resources. This social and technological dynamism calls for reflection and brings some key questions: what paradigms of territorial administration and cadastre still valid? Which should be questioned? What new paradigms are part of the current situation and have not yet been internalized by the institutions? This paper presents some answers that will certainly contribute to improve the debate related to the new paradigms of Latin American cadastres.
