Urban Planning in Mexico
Author: Paavo Monkkonen
Publisher: UCLA Ciudades
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
This book examines the scope of urban planning in Mexico through case studies of four municipalities - Campeche, Hermosillo, Leon and Morelia - that have recently updated their plans using new federal guidelines. We seek to advance a research agenda on the impacts of planning and its effectiveness by proposing some foundations for how to assess planning processes, as well as to provide guidance for the federal government of Mexico in its oversight of municipal planning practice and recommendations for the four cities we study. We begin with the concern that the debate over whether urban planning in Mexico “works” suffers from a lack of shared definitions about what is and is not within the scope of urban planning, and a shared conceptual framework for assessing the planning process. The case studies were conducted as part of a graduate studio in the Department of Urban Planning at UCLA. They rely on multiple interviews with planners and professionals in each city as well as documentary and data analysis, and literature reviews. We use a framework of five processes: creating a plan, implementing the plan, raising revenue to fund urban infrastructure, upgrading existing neighborhoods to ensure equal access across neighborhoods, and investing in new infrastructure to support growth. Each case presents a brief urban history and contextual data; a description of local government planning activities, the current plan, the city’s political history, and transparency in local planning; an assessment of planning processes, the mechanisms for changing land uses, and examples one infrastructure project and enforcement of land use rules; and an evaluation of the plan itself, including some GIS analysis local zoning and federal policy. The book’s recommendations fall into three areas: making plans into part of an ongoing and iterative process, increasing coordination between municipal budgeting and planning, and creating transparency and public input to the planning process. More specifically, we find that new plans often ignore successes and failures of prior plans, they do not periodically assess indicators to gauge impact, and discretionary changes in between plan updates diminishes the importance of the plan itself. In the second area, we argue that the scope of planning must be expanded. The plan should be integrated with the municipal budgeting process and municipalities in Mexico should work to generate more local revenues to adequately fund plans. Finally, in the third area, we recommend making planning documents, zoning maps, and basic data on urban conditions accessible to the public. A lack of transparency and the often opaque decision making processes harm the legitimacy of governance. We also outline how the federal government can play a role in advancing these recommendations for local planning processes.

The Geography of Central America and Mexico
Author: Thomas A. Rumney
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810886375
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Connecting the massive landscapes of North and South America is Mexico and Central America. An area of fascination and study for geographers and other scholars from around the world, these lands and peoples have played important roles in the discoveries and distributions of civilizations, resources, and nations for millennia. These regions have stimulated a large mass of research and publications across the many sub-disciplines of geography. The Geography of Central America and Mexico: A Scholarly Guide and Bibliography by Thomas A. Rumneycollects, organizes, and presents as many of these scholarly publications as possible to help and encourage efforts in the teaching, study, and continuing scholarship of the geography of this area, which covers Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, as well as the region as a whole. Beginning with the region as a whole, each chapter that follows, one per nation, is divided by specific sub-disciplines of geography: cultural geography, social geography, economic geography, historical geography, physical and environmental geography, political geography, and urban geography. Each section is then further divided into by document type: atlases, books, book chapters, articles from scholarly journals, master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations. Although the majority of entries recorded focus on English-language works, selected entries written in Spanish, as well as French, German, and other languages are also included (with these entries’ titles then translated into English and noted accordingly).

El suelo en la Nueva Agenda Urbana
Author: Alfonso Xavier Iracheta Cenecorta
Publisher: El Colegio Mexiquense
ISBN: 6078836137
Category : Social Science
Languages : es
Pages : 332
Book Description
Este libro integra quince trabajos que aportan diferentes aspectos del problema del suelo en las ciudades de la región, desde una definición más precisa de la problemáticas a la luz de la Agenda, hasta la explicación de instrumentos político – normativos novedosos, promotores de una gestión urbana distinta implementados incluso con anterioridad a la aparición de la Nueva Agenda Urbana (NAU), pero acordes con sus principios y orientaciones. Así, los capítulos invitan a aprender de quienes ya están andando el camino en la aplicación, de lineamientos, acciones, políticas e instrumentos de suelo, lo cual permite tender otro puente con la NAU cuyo mayor reto hoy es su implementación. En este sentido uno de los propósitos de la obra es evidenciar que aún con el complejo -- y muchas veces desalentador--escenario de nuestros espacios urbanos, existen oportunidades de intervención para la construcción de territorios más equitativos.
