This point is important if we consider Mexico minimum wage is devalued. 3. Small city and low population index. Aguascalientes capital population is just 750,000 people, which does not demand a large city, because of this, besides to good urban practices, makes the city not to enlarge in an uncontrolled way.

It’s necessary to implement politics aimed to sustainability and vision to future. I would definitely try to decentralize services from the capital and distribute to the rest of surrounding towns in district. By this way I would hope to stop urban spreading in a specific area and give life to economically forgotten and undeveloped surrounding towns. Small and developed cities self-sufficient in the middle of rural context. Of course it would be also necessary efficient transportation system to guarantee suitable connection of urban cells. Q5.
