Message from INTA's president
I am pleased to introduce you to INTA’s new image and brand new website. The new INTA site will offer members access to a growing collection of information on emerging trends in urban and regional development. You will learn how INTA’s upcoming activities facilitate networking and information sharing and how they bring complementary cases together to learn from each other on generalized urban processes. We hope this website will convince you to join us and contribute to the discussions on factors that shape the future of urban development. I thank you for your interest and look forward to everyone’s participation.

INTA is approached by the authorities of the French island of La Réunion, at the south east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, to advise on a touristic development programme.

After the Panel in Bogotá-Cundinamarca, the INTA-UNCRD advisory panel continued to the Colombian Caribbean Region, where eight departments have recently developed initiatives to become a
single administrative region to integrate development projects. The Panel seeked to strengthen the development process of the Caribbean Region and supported the development of the Caribbean Regional Corridor. The corridor is currently considered the project that can promote a more balanced, equitable and sustainable development, and serve as an integrator of all the Colombian Caribbean Region. The Panel helped define an effective chart, in order to progress the development of a Regional Corridor Strategic Plan as the basis for the development of the region and a regional urban system.
An INTA Panel assisted the UN Centre for Regional Development in Latin America UNCRD-LAC in the programme for integrated regional development in Bogota-Cundinamarca.
