Regional Plan for the Territorial Planning of the Greater Metropolitan Area, 2013-2030
The Regional Plan for the Territorial Planning of the Greater Metropolitan Area (Span. Plan GAM) 2013-2030, is the name of the process for updating the Urban Development Plan of the Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM), 31 years after taking effect. The process had a first phase between 2005 and 2012 during which the Regional Urban Plan of the Greater Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica (PRUGAM) was first developed, followed by the Land Management Plan for the GAM. The Regional Urban Plan of the Greater Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica (PRUGRAM), for example, had an open and multisectoral participation process, carried out through a series of workshops to review the existing situation in urban planning and development and to further direct the urban development of Costa Rica. In addition to the Central Government, various autonomous institutions, public universities, municipal governments, the private and community sectors and NGOs all took part in this participatory process. In November 2013, the GAM Plan was submitted to a public consultation through the website mivah.go.cr, in order to find out whether or not the Plan required any adjustment before being approved at the end of December 2013. In 2014, the Regional Plan for Territorial Planning of the Greater Metropolitan Area was published, PLAN GAM 2013-2030.
