La presente investigación trata de las invasiones de las laderas de los cerros de Lima y su posible solución, desde un enfoque del Urbanismo y el Derecho, específicamente en el problema de la falta de un Plan de Desarrollo Urbano que ordene el crecimiento de la ciudad y que pueda ser ejecutado por las Municipalidades distritales. Por ello, la investigación plantea una solución integral para las invasiones informales desde un enfoque de reconocimiento del derecho a la ciudad y su complemento con un Plan de Desarrollo Urbano, mediante el análisis de las soluciones propuestas a nivel del Derecho Comparado, la presentación de los antecedentes y diferentes enfoques desde distintas disciplinas. Iniciando con la causa de las invasiones a los terrenos estatales por el difícil acceso a la propiedad formal, las grandes migraciones, la segregación de las poblaciones con menos recursos, etc...

The article develops the relationship between the concepts of territorial planning and urban planning in order to study the future perspectives of this field after the Urban Reform of 2021. Based on this, we consider the specific context of Lima where it has been approved the Metropolitan Development Plan to 2040 y the Urban Development Plans are in the making, so as to state how it is possible to concretize the main objectives of the Urban Reform of 2021 through a zoning regulation – the normative element of the urban plans. With that in mind, we set the structure of a proposal of zoning regulation, including the principles, approaches, guidelines and criteria for interpretation; the division of the territory; zoning and compatibilities; urban and building parameters; and land value capture instruments.

The following article evidences the importance of considering the concept and the components of the right to the city in the Peruvian legislation. For that purpose, it considers the growing recognition of the importance of cities under the ‘New Urban Agenda’ and the search for assurance of decent life quality for the inhabitants of a city. Moreover, the authors propose to overcome the conception of the city as a physical space where its sole purpose is to produce individual wealth and benefits, for its recognition as a space of interaction and citizen development as a collectivity. Based on this definition, the right to the city implies a guiding principle that seeks to generate spaces for community participation, a fair distribution of urban charges and benefits, and the promotion of active citizenship.
