Abstract

The emergence of a new territory in the 21st century has provoked a new understanding of the existing urban issues and the way they are addressed, adding layers of complexity to them. This is why new urban planning instruments and styles constitute alternatives through which the interest for exploring innovative approaches to confront territorial and urban reality could become a reality. These concerns , regarding the way we have been approaching urban intervention were included in the 2009 Global Report by United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-HABITAT); emphasizing that the current Urban Planning must be renovated as a way of recovering the role of a proper urban development strategy. However, this Report also argues that contemporary urban planning has not really had a significant impact, and that in countries such as Mexico, the more traditional approach still persists, which raises the urgency of starting a review process, regarding the reach of the model currently in place . Therefore, a revision and analysis of the current Mexican urban planning foundations is crucial in order to adapt them according to an international standard, thereby, to identify the key-ways for improving this process is the aim of this research.
