Medellín reshapes land use with the POT review that already cleared its first test at the City Council
Medellín's district administration filed the mid-term review of its Land-Use Plan (POT), which seeks to update the rules on which economic activities can operate, where and under what conditions. The proposal classifies the territory into six activity areas and four impact levels, adds 29 previously unrecognized activities —such as electric vehicle charging stations and data centers— and cuts the land enabled for tourist housing from 18% to 10.4%. The project has already passed its first test at the City Council.
In 45 seconds
- The POT classifies the territory into six activity areas and four impact scales (low, medium, high and very high) to regulate where each economic activity operates.
- In low-mix residential polygons, 59% of activities are banned, 29% are conditional and only 11% are directly allowed.
- Tourist housing would go from being enabled on 18% of urban land to 10.4%, with an additional 7.8% band allowed only as an activity ancillary to the resident's main home.
