Urban and environmental regeneration in Mexican cities: a design framework

ABSTRACT The social and environmental crises of Mexican cities demand an urgent search for solutions through design projects capable of both mitigation and recovery. This article proposes a design framework for projects that can result in an urban and environmental regeneration for these cities. This framework uses the concepts of territorial scale, hybrid systems, and urban ecotones, and it results from a revision of emerging theories and the application of the framework in two design projects in Mexico: A Green Corridor System for Hermosillo and a Blue Ring for Tampico. The proposed design framework contributes to the emerging planning context in Mexico while employing existing tools and studies. The article concludes that the proposed design framework can reinforce territorial identities by facilitating the regeneration of the urban artifact and by enabling the use natural ecosystems.
