This book opens a discussion about issues such aspoverty, inequality, and urban agglomeration, and considers in detail the wayin which fiscal policy, understood as a combination of taxes and subsidies,affects income distribution. This study applies the methodology used in previousanalyses for Bogotá, which serves to systematically monitor the evolution ofsocial conditions. It highlights the importance of agglomerations and the interactionbetween the countryside and the city, an increasingly recurrent issue in localand regional government agendas, from a perspective that sees such relationshipas a continuum, unlike the conventional classification based onpolitical-administrative boundaries. The analysis emphasizes that while the taxstructure—especially the national one—is not progressive, there will be nosignificant changes in the Gini index.
