Territorial planning in the Dominican Republic

Overview

Territorial strategic planning is expanding across various regions of the Dominican Republic, including Santiago, Peravia, San Juan, La Altagracia, and Santiago Rodríguez. These modern models aim to integrate national, regional, and local government levels while involving the state, private sectors, academia, and citizens in a shared vision.

However, the country faces significant challenges regarding land use. In agricultural regions such as Moca, urban expansion is encroaching upon productive farmland, leading to the irreversible conversion of agricultural land into residential developments. To address this, authorities point to the legal frameworks provided by Article 194 of the Dominican Constitution and Law No. 368-22, which mandate effective territorial planning to ensure sustainable resource use and regulate urban growth.
