George Solomonmaster in Geological Resources and Geological Engineering, explained that within the same PGOT contradictions can be detected.
For example, the document provides that all mayors have a Risk Atlas until within 15 years, but, at the same time, it requires that it be available for formalities of licenses of construction demonstration.
“Of the Territorial Ordinance Program, the great deficiencies that I see are that of its norms, which also oppose each other”, detailed the expert.
Solomon questioned the definition of green infrastructure of the document.
“The issue of green infrastructure, that seemed terrible to me, because they think that, by putting green areas and planting trees and native vegetation, it is enough to be considered green infrastructure, that is also a catastrophe, it has no conceptualization,” plot.

They point out the need for partial plans

He explained that professionals and neighbors prepared one for the Tepito neighborhoodwhich has been replicated in other countries, without being able to implement it yet in the zone where it was developed.
“After we finished the partial program (of Tepito), we already carried out the investigation, the diagnosis, Seduvi tells us to go to the queue, because what matters to the Head of Government is Lomas de Chapultepec” , he accused.
