+From :cite:`IOGP2018`:
+
+ The capital cites of each department in Colombia use an urban projection for large
+ scale topographic mapping of the urban areas. It is based on a plane through
+ the origin at an average height for the area, eliminating the need for corrections
+ to engineering survey observations.
