    This article explores harmonious and discordant relations accompanying leading political participation models in public affairs. The article is focused on the analysis of whether the four most influential models of participation, namely, direct participation, indirect participation, deliberative participation, and control participation, have accompanied the multiple participation processes generated as part of the urban transformation in Medellin, Colombia between 2004 and 2015, specifically in the concise occurrence of the town hall meeting held as part of the formulation of the Land Development Plan in 2014. As explained in the paper, even if every model places a major focus on a particular aspect, they all together may converge in a collaborative and interdependent fashion. Additionally, this investigation supports that according to their immediate interests, different actors in urban transformation processes may observe these models as compatible or incompatible among each other and, accordingly, will assign each of them a dominant role depending on the specific time and interests at stake. This study may be applied as an analytical framework across contexts in Colombia, as it occurs in many Latin American cities where legal systems establish the simultaneity of these four participation models.

    The complexity of urban public policies in Latin America. Medellin's case
    (UNIV ANTIOQUIA, FAC DERECHO & CIENCIAS POLITICAS, 2017-01-01) A. VASQUEZ CARDENAS; M. MONTOYA BRAND; D. ROJAS BERMEO; A. VASQUEZ CARDENAS; M. MONTOYA BRAND; D. ROJAS BERMEO
    The article explores the reasons why urban public policies in Latin America have a very high degree of complexity. It also addresses the challenges that this generates for local governments. It examines in an illustrative way the case of Medellin (Colombia) by taking as a point of reference urban regeneration policies applied during 2004-2015. The complexity of urban policies can be exposed in aspects such as follows: In urban policies it is necessary to give room for diverse and sometimes conflicting interests; Latin American cities are faced with the challenge of ensuring, simultaneously with its policies, not only the human development but also the competitiveness required by the globalized world of today. Finally, it is increasingly clear that policy makers must take into account the consequences of the urban transformation processes that result from public policies. This work continues by evidencing the main tensions that complexity imposes on public policies concerning urban transformation in Latin America.
