Hillside urbanism in several cities around the world: Mexico City case study, (Mexico)
Abstract
The present research arises from the current problem of hillside urbanism in Mexico City (CDMX), established on river walls, mountain slopes and volcanic foothills, generating the risk of landslides, mainly caused by rains and earthquakes. It is important to emphasize that such hillside urbanism is minimally known worldwide, growing in other states of the Mexican Republic and in several countries. As a result, a comparison of various hillside urbanisms in the world differentiated with Mexico is established, contrasting information provided by the government and results obtained from Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Therefore, the objective of choosing the Mexico City as a sample is to contain the growth of hillside urbanism in other parts of Mexico and the world, based on urban restructuring plans through management between authorities and population.
