Risk assessment of 33 settlements in Mexico City.

The study seeks to reconcile the constitutional right to a healthy environment with continued urban expansion in Mexico City. The study simultaneously addresses urban development and ecological planning policies to improve territorial management, regulate land use, control urban and environmental processes, and promote balanced population distribution. Tlalpan faces particularly strong pressures because only 16.5% of its territory is classified as Urban Land, while 83.5% constitutes Conservation Land, resulting in persistent pressure to transform the area’s natural land-use vocation.
