"The new POTGAM guidelines have not yet been revealed to the public, but the initiative is, of course, highly controversial.
The document being managed by the government was born from the ashes of the Regional Urban Plan for the Greater Metropolitan Area (PRUGRAM in Spanish), on which was spent over 11 years, and around 11 million euros in devising new schemes for urban development, transportation, etc..
It is because of this that there is discord over how much in the new regulations has been rescued from the PRUGRAM, which had the blessing of large sectors of urban planning experts. Managers of PRUGRAM such as Eduardo Brenes, director of the program, in previous months made assurances that it is very little, Irene Campos, Minister of Housing and rector of the new Land Registry Council, created by the current administration, says that it is a lot", reports El Financiero on its website.
