WATER AND URBAN LAND-USE PLANNING IN CALI, COLUMBIA

A strategic planning model that links land use to water supply, sewage management, pollution abatement, and flooding is described. Its application to the case of Cali, Colombia has led to refinements of an approach presented in a hypothetical context. In this study, multiobjective optimization is used to allocate projected population growth among urban expansion zones while simultaneously determining the optimal spatial mix of different water-supply and sanitation technologies capable of meeting service needs. The hydrological impacts of the resulting development pattern are then simulated. The insights thus gained may be used to revise development goals.
