Abstract
This CUDS study from 2003 was a Technical Assistance contract, to identify the place and function of the Historic Center within Mexico City’s multinuclear urban structure. The Diagnostic Summary documented the social, economic, and environmental conditions that challenge its integration and development as part of the living city. Main authors were François Vigier, Liz Meléndez San Miguel, Luis Valenzuela, and Elda Solloso.
The report discusses physical deficiencies in Mexico City, Mexico, such as infrastructure, that must be addressed in future development plans. Working off the strategic analysis by which the interest and capabilities of key players can contribute to regional revitalization, CUDS located municipal structures helpful for developing a preservation strategy. Documents consist of a diagnostic report with annexes.
