  • Urban and territorial planning in Peru is carried out at the national, regional, and local levels by the authorities of the national government, the departmental and municipal governments (provincial and district). Goals are achieved through various laws, decrees and regulations that establish various programs and plans. The National Development Strategic Plan - Bicentennial Plan: Peru by 2021 establishes a comprehensive vision of the country's development including important aspects in territorial planning issues such as regional development, infrastructure and housing. At the local level, the Territorial Conditioning Regulation presents a set of urban and territorial planning instruments for the provincial and district municipalities, allowing progress in the area.
