Following a prolonged discussion at a city council meeting this week, three urban plans presented by Implan director Israel Victoria Lona were approved: Mazatlán Urban Development, Partial Urban Development of the Centro Historico and Partial Urban Development of the logistic corridor of Mazatlán-Villa Unión.

In 350 years Mazatlán has increased by 8,000 hectares, three times faster than the population with a 300 percent increase in vehicle traffic, said Victoria Lona.

According to the director, Mazatlán has approximately 10,000 undeveloped hectares ready for urbanization which are included in the plan to take the city to 2040 in an ordered, disciplined manner and not with just “bright ideas,” the benefits of which can be short term. The logic here is to plan for the long term.
