The Multipurpose Cadastre. A Compendium of Case Studies Demonstrating the Use of Cadastral Information for Public Decision-Making in Colombia brings together fifteen experiences from different regions of the country, illustrating how cadastral information can become a strategic asset for evidence-based public policy and territorial governance.

Through real-world case studies, the publication demonstrates that the Multipurpose Cadastre serves as a key territorial information infrastructure supporting land-use planning, environmental management, legal certainty of property rights, investment planning, disaster risk management, rural development, and peacebuilding. The documented experiences highlight the value of territorial information in strengthening institutional coordination, improving public management, and promoting sustainable and inclusive development.
