COThe article discusses the new Plan of Territorial Ordering (POT) proposed by the administration of Dumek Turbay for the city of Cartagena, Colombia. This plan aims to redefine the city's growth strategy over the next thirty years, focusing on urban development, environmental protection, and sustainable expansion. The current POT has remained largely unchanged for over two decades despite significant changes in the city’s landscape, including increased tourism in areas like Barú, the strengthening of the port infrastructure, and growing concerns about informal housing and environmental impact. After extensive consultations with various stakeholders, the new POT includes measures to protect ecosystems, regulate urban expansion, and address issues such as housing shortages and food supply systems. The plan marks a shift away from previous growth patterns focused primarily on the northern part of the city.
