This article presents a research case study of a Latin American historical center in Colombia, and focuses on the country’s most outstanding tools for the protection and management of cultural heritage. The troubled relationship between the purposes of urban development and the actions designed to ensure the protection, conservation and sustainability of declared cultural heritage, is broached; these can be seen in the discourse of two plans: the Land Management Plan (2002), formulated for the Colombian community of Popayan and still in effect, and the Special Plan for the Management and Protection of Heritage (SPMPH) of its historical center, approved in 2009. The analysis derived from a scenario whose results reflect the tension between the objectives of the plans: their disbandment, the lack of implementation and the administrative gaps that have hindered the development of the SPMPH years after its formulation.
