Abstract
This article shows, chronologically, the evolution of the Colombian Urban Law, from the Spanish legislation uttered during the Colony to our days. The main purpose of the article is to study the different institutions that originated the current urban laws, from the Statue of Felipe II, to the current Law 388 of 1997, including the Civil Code regulations and its amendments, the causes that led to the Law 9 of 1989 (also known as the Urban Reform Law), as well as the regulations derived from the latter and the 1991 Constitution.
