For those working to rehabilitate the Historic Center, the greatest challenge is the elaboration of a comprehensive development strategy that will promote local growth objectives in light of its physical, social, political and economic characteristics. A strategy to re-establish the Center’s position in the mega-city needs to address its changing role and the multiple concerns and objectives of the Center’s residents and its business and commercial community. The preservation and rehabilitation of the area can only be conceived within the broader context of factors that have affected the area, transforming its economic base and contributing to the progressive deterioration of its social and built environment: • The massive loss of residents experienced between 1970 and 1995; • The relocation of important business and cultural activities traditionally housed in the area to new suburban nodes of development; • The consequent deterioration of the built environment, also due to disinvestments and absentee owners; • The loss of employment in the formal sector that fostered the rapid development of the informal commercial sector; • A drastic reduction in housing availability as buildings were rapidly being transformed into commercial, warehouse and business uses; • An increase in lower income and socially vulnerable groups living in unsanitary conditions and high-risk housing; • An increase in vehicular traffic, in part due to inadequate public transportation and; • The rapid deterioration of the historic fabric. A Comprehensive Strategy Throughout the decade of the 90’s numerous institutions were created and plans developed to foster a process of recuperation for the area. The Strategic Plan for the Regeneration and Integral Development of the Historic Center, prepared by the Historic Center Trusteeship was an integrated plan based on four strategies targeted to respond to the core issues that affect the area through: (a) the reestablishment of centrality; (b) the regeneration of housing; (c) economic development and; (d) social development. Although these strategies and their corresponding lines of action presented a strong comprehensive approach, the plan lacked institutional continuity due to the reorganization of the Trusteeship, and supporting programs and projects were never implemented. Nevertheless, the strategies and lines of action presented in the plan are still relevant to the current situation of the Historic Center and could very well serve as the basis for a 2 Historic Center Mexico City Harvard University Center for Urban Development Studies development strategy for the area. A comprehensive strategy however, needs to focus not only on the identification of the core issues upon which the sustainable and continued growth and development of the area can be based but also on the development of economically and financially feasible projects and programs that can ensure its success by: • Promoting the development of the sectors that can give the Historic Center a competitive advantage over other commercial, business and residential centers in the City; • Creating a favorable environment for business and commercial development, offering transparent incentives to attract private investors; • Providing the infrastructure needed to promote and sustain growth in the area while considering alternative ways of dealing with the precarious nature of the site; • Developing a land management strategy that can respond effectively to the dynamics of development within the broader urban agglomeration; • Developing an appropriate housing strategy to respond effectively to the current needs of the community as well as the demand for new housing; • Defining an institutional structure and regulatory framework that can deal comprehensively and effectively with the specific issues that affect the Historic Center as a whole - Perimeters “A” and “B” - by supporting and coordinating the actions of the two delegations with jurisdiction, Cuautéhmoc and Venustiano Carranza; • Identifying the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in the implementation of the strategies; • Developing a participatory program that will promote community involvement in the development of strategies, programs and actions, keeping the residents and businesses involved in the decision making process; • Recommending priority interventions to be undertaken and; • Developing appropriate indicators to measure the effectiveness of these interventions and their impact on the community. Planning Framework The challenges faced in the rehabilitation of the Historic Center are not unique; however, the magnitude of the issues is compounded by the size of the area, the exceedingly rapid growth of Mexico City and the precarious nature of the site. Pragmatic approaches and flexible mechanisms are needed to create opportunities for the development of growth sectors capable of driving the area’s economy, in order to attract new investment and ensure that the benefits of growth are equitably distributed. A planning framework based on instruments such as those presented below can be used in the formulation of a strategy and an action plan for the preservation and revitalization of the Historic Center: 1. Development of a strategy for the revitalization and preservation of the Historic Center A priority when formulating an operational strategy for the revitalization of the 3 Historic Center Mexico City Harvard University Center for Urban Development Studies Historic Center is to ensure its integration and coordination with the current plans, projects and programs organized and managed by the different levels of governments and NGOs. Integration is imperative in order to coordinate proposals and avoid conflicting actions among the different parties involved. Reaching a broad consensus among all parties at the federal, district, delegation and community levels is critical in ensuring the implementation of the strategy and in reestablishing the position of the district within its context. Therefore the new plan shall focus not only on the Historic core itself but also on the surrounding impact zone and the major links to other important development nodes in the city. An effective revitalization strategy will result in greater benefits from current investments in infrastructure and housing, opening up new employment opportunities in the area. 2. Development of a master plan for Perimeters “A” and “B” A significant step in the revitalization of the area is the preparation and implementation of a spatial development plan that stems from the revitalization strategy and reexamines and redefines the existing perimeters for action. Specific intervention strategies and the establishment of strategic nodes for action shall recognize and attend to the development of incentives necessary to attract private investment. 3. Focusing on infrastructure, safety and public space to be the catalysts for upgrading and revitalizing the built environment Public investment in infrastructure, safety and public space act as incentives to foster private investment in the process of revitalization of the degraded built environment. Projects like the current infrastructure and façade improvements led by the Trusteeship foster and encourage private investment initiatives in housing, office and commercial buildings. The development of infrastructure projects in the area needs to be comprehensively linked to the spatial development plan and the strategic nodes identified as catalysts in the recuperation process. 4. Devising a concise regulatory framework for new construction and the rehabilitation of existing structures A critical objective of a concise regulatory framework is to develop simple and effective controls that local authorities

  • Mexican Marks
    Mexican Marks Bill Lockhart, Beau Schriever, Bill Lindsey, Bob Brown, and Carol Serr Information on Mexican glass factories and manufacturer’s marks has been generally spotty. Mostly, those few researchers who addressed the subject only examined a small part of the picture. This study is an attempt to integrate the existing literature into a single, reasonably comprehensive synthesis of the glass history and manufacturer’s marks. The History of Mexican Glass – Prior to the 20th Century Rodrigo Espinosa crossed the ocean to form a glass factory on Calle del Venado (Deer St.) at Puebla, New Spain (later Mexico), in 1547. Espinosa’s plant was known for its high quality flasks, bottles, and glasses, which it exported as far as Guatemala and Peru. The factory continued in production until sometime between 1712 and 1723. The firm had virtually no competition until Antonio Prado built a factory in the same city. By this time, demand for containers had increased, and both plants were pushed to capacity to fill their orders (Díaz Cruz and Mas Escoto 1952:8-10; López & Martínez 2008). After an initial attempt at Puebla, Camilo Ávalos Razo opened a small factory in 1889 near La Merced, the best known shopping district in Mexico City. Camilo was the first glassmaker of Mexican origin, and his plant became very successful. His descendants diversified the product line, and one opened a factory at Guadalajara to serve the various tequila plants in the area (López & Martínez 2008). We have not discovered how long any of these works survived. Much of the glass imported by Mexico prior to the 20th century was from Germany, although the United States became a major exporter to our neighbor by 1910.

  • LOS CÓDICES HISTÓRICOS MEXICAS. EL CÓDICE AZCATITLAN María Castañeda De La Paz (Universidad De Sevilla / Universidad De Leiden, Holanda)
    EHSEA. N' 14/Bnero-Junio 1997, pp. 273-299 LOS CÓDICES HISTÓRICOS MEXICAS. EL CÓDICE AZCATITLAN María Castañeda de la Paz (Universidad de Sevilla / Universidad de Leiden, Holanda) Este trabajo es un intento más de profundizar y aclarar los contenidos de los códices históricos y la problemática que presentan en su estudio e interpretación. Para un mejor entendimiento del tema hemos tomado como ejemplo un manuscrito, que en nuestra opinión es altamente ilustrativo ya que, además de abarcar un amplio período cronológico, refleja muy claramente el modo en que los aztecas mexicas creaban y concebían su propia historia y, cómo ésta, sufrió las influencias de la cultura europea. Nos referimos al Códice Azcatitlan. Los códices de carácter histórico --objeto de análisis en el presente ensayo-, fueron creados como instrumento de legitimación y dominación de la clase dirigente frente al pueblo para demostrar su grandeza y poder. Un aspecto común en estos manuscritos es la cantidad de contradicciones que presentan. Por qué documentos que narran unos mismos hechos históricos varían constantemente en sus personajes protagonistas, en la ruta a seguir en busca del lugar donde asentarse, en las listas de conquistas o incluso en las fechas que marcan los distintos acontecimientos. Otro aspecto bastante frecuente, muy claro en el Códice Azcatitlan, es que el relato de la historia de un pueblo suele acompañarse de una narración sagrada. Se trata de hechos desconcertantes para la mentalidad europea, pero frecuentes en esta clase de documentos clasificados como históricos. Para una mayor compresión de esta compleja cuestión, debemos entender que la historia azteca mexica era una historia reconstruida que respondía siempre a un mismo objetivo: crear una historia oficial que desde su base justificara la gloria y poder legítimo del pueblo protagonista con una clara intención propagandística por parte de sus creadores.

  • Baseline Study of Land Markets in and Around Mexico City's Current And
    Baseline Study of Land Markets in and Around Mexico City’s Current and New International Airports Report to the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy July 10, 2017 Paavo Monkkonen UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs Jorge Montejano Escamilla Felipe Gerardo Avila Jimenez Centro de Investigación en Geografía y Geomática 1 Executive Summary Government run urban mega-projects can have a transformative impact on local property and land markets, creating significant increases in the value of land through investment by the state. The construction of a New International Airport and the redevelopment of the existing International Airport will be one of the largest public infrastructure projects in Mexico City in recent history. The potential impacts on the price of nearby land warrants consideration of a land value capture program. Regardless of the form this program takes, the city needs an accurate and well-justified baseline measure of the value of land and property proximate to the two airport sites. This report contains three parts. The first is a review of relevant academic literature on property appraisals, the impacts of airports and mega-projects on land and property values, the role of value capture in infrastructure investment, and the methods and tools through which land value impacts can be estimated. This latter component of the literature review is especially important. Much of the data on land and property values in Mexico City are from appraisals and estimates rather than actual transaction records, and the methodology governments use to assess land values plays an important role in the credibility and political feasibility of efforts to recapture value increases.

  • PEATONALIZACIÓN DE LA CALLE MADERO DEL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Análisis Del Cambio En El Ámbito Comercial
    PEATONALIZACIÓN DE LA CALLE MADERO DEL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Análisis del cambio en el ámbito comercial Clara ORTEGA GARCÍA Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana. Unidad Azcapotzalco Directora: Mtra. Ma. del Carmen Bernárdez de la Granja Mail: [email protected] RESUMEN Existe en la Ciudad de México, como en otros lugares, una tendencia que ha protagonizado las revitalizaciones de espacios públicos realizadas en los últimos años, se trata de la peatonalización de calles o avenidas. Dicho tipo de intervención es, definitivamente impactante en cuanto que modifica determinantemente el uso y percepción del espacio. La constante insistencia por la necesidad de revitalizar el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México ha provocado, además de una evidente transformación de imagen urbana, otras mutaciones en el espacio urbano, cambios muy evidentes de carácter social, espacial y económico principalmente. Lo que aquí se presenta, es un análisis de éste tipo de intervención, realizada en la calle Francisco I. Madero, arteria vital del centro histórico, que cerró el tránsito vehicular en 2010 para priorizar el acceso exclusivamente peatonal al centro de la ciudad; los impactos generados a partir de éste suceso, principalmente en el ámbito comercial. Palabras clave: Centro Histórico, Revitalización, Peatonalización ABSTRACT In Mexico City exists a trend, as in other places, that has played a main role in the revitalization of public spaces in recent years: the pedestrianisation of streets or avenues. Such an intervention has an important impact since it crucially modifies the use and perception of space. Constant insistence for the need to revitalize Mexico City's Historic Center has caused, in addition to a clear transformation of urban image, other important mutations in the urban space, mainly of social, spatial and economic nature.

In the early sixteenth century, Mexico City already had 200,000 inhabitants, and the Valley of Mexico almost half a million—which is to say, it has always been one of the world’s largest cities. Due to its longstanding position as Mexico’s capital city, industrial development in the twentieth century, and particularly the rapid demographic growth in the 1970s and 1980s, the city’s air quality was suffering by the early 1990s. Mexico City became known internationally as the most polluted city in the world. In the past 20 years, the federal, state and city governments have carried out an ambitious program to improve air quality in the Valley of Mexico. The effort was one of the most efficient public policies ever developed in our country, where public policy planning, follow-up across different levels of government in different administrations, and critical and science-based policy evaluation are not very common.
