VASQUEZ SANTAMARIA, Jorge Eduardo. The special urban regulatory hierarchy as a reference of urban planning public policy in Colombia. Opin. jurid. [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.28, pp.91-115. ISSN 1692-2530.

Based on the research question ''what is Medellín's urban planning public policy?'', the article presents the special urban regulatory hierarchy as part of the reference that has given and keeps giving rise to the mentioned public policy. For this purpose, first, the public policy figure that contains the definitions of the policy reference and decisional flow categories is outlined. These categories are the proposals in Pierre Muller's analysis model and the basis for legitimizing the public nature of a policy and differentiating it from the State or government policy. Furthermore, the article addresses the components that form the special urban regulatory hierarchy, beginning with the ones developed by the Constitutional Court in its jurisprudence. Then, it addresses the ones proposed by the doctrine, whose scheme is considered to be modified based on the derogation of article 7, Act 388, 1997, which is the current composition of the urban administrative function from the dispersion of territorial competences conferred by law, and the anachronistic role of the metropolitan areas in the urban field.

Keywords : public policy; public policy reference; decisional flow; urban planning; municipality; metropolitan area.
