National experiences on land planning and regional development
Presentation of member governments
• Mexico
Comments by government delegates
The growing political and social importance given to environment and to sustainable development has been concreted institutionally through land planning. The policies of land planning are defined differently in each country, but now have included matters that were previously of concern only to regional policies: for example, the adequate use of resources and the territorial economic balance. Additionally, the way of articulating economic development and land planning has been very different, as well as the diverse roles of each territorial level of government in each country. It is important to know concrete experiences that have sought to resolve this difficult relationship among economy, environment and the different territorial levels of government in its management.

There is a growing national interest for serious challenges of inter-institutional coordination and among the different levels of government that face territorial development. These difficulties are not limited to land planning and competitiveness, there are other transversal areas such as social policies and those of decentralization/federalism.
