Abstract
PEREZ PULIDO, Leticia Abigail and ROMO AGUILAR, María de Lourdes. Urban development plans: Instruments of legitimation in the urban expansion of Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.1, pp.85-120. Epub May 02, 2022. ISSN 2448-6515. https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v37i1.1924.
Urban development in the cities of Mexico’s northern border has been marked by population flows and the arrival of industry. Ciudad Juarez is no exception; despite the number of urban development plans and programs, the problems in urban areas have increased, in particular, the urban expansion accompanied by deficiencies in equipment and infrastructure. This article analyzes the participation of urban planning in the process of expansion of that city to the southeast, with the purpose of visualizing the urban development plans as instruments for legitimizing growth.
Keywords : planning; urban development; expansion; legitimizing; Juarez City.
