Abstract: Although there is a large body of literature examining metropolitan regions, it is difficult to find specific literature on metropolitan planning, especially in Latin America. Few studies overlook the enormous diversity of institutional frameworks in a region that is often considered a homogeneous territory, failing to highlight many planning innovations. This paper aims to investigate the particularity of metropolitan planning in Latin America through a comparative case study of its three largest agglomerations: Greater Buenos Aires, the Valley of Mexico, and the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. This analysis focuses on the instrumental, institutional, and procedural dimensions of planning.
