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.

   proj-string: ``+proj=col_urban``
