Introducing Planning To Tijuana
10 June 2002 - 11:00am
Carlos Graizbord is planning chief for one of North America's most unruly cities -- Tijuana.
"As the new director of Tijuana's Institute for Municipal Planning, Graizbord had to find a way to bring order to one of North America's most unruly cities. Three years later, the illegal shantytowns are still there, but the determined planning director no longer averts his gaze. His short tenure so far has given him hope that transforming this sprawling metropolis--in ways both small and large--is indeed possible... It's a lot to expect in a place where a third of the city lacks basic services like sewage lines, where half the new homes go up unapproved, where officials worry about running out of water in three years."

New Suburbanism is not a new design paradigm that seeks to compete with or discredit principles of New Urbanism. Instead, our perspective represents a broad-based attempt to find the best, most practical ways to develop and redevelop suburban communities.
