The article seeks to study the congestion of the city of Cali. For this a transdisciplinary analysis of the historical development of the municipality is exposed in a context of long duration, to later derive in the ordering plans of the 21st century, and to present the current traffic problem. In this historical context, urban plans, programs, and projects have tried within the framework of territorial public policies to define a city model. However, the evidence shows in Cali there is no articulation between the territorial policies of the twentieth century and the way the city government conceived it for the 21st century. Therefore, regarding this territorial discontinuity development, the chaos of vehicular congestion is shocking, which in turn translates into serious problems of institutional ungovernability, as the present study suggests.

Keywords : Institutions; urban development in Cali; territorial public policies; governability; governance.
