Summary
Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the urban-rural periphery of Mexico City, faces complex challenges due to tourism-driven urbanization. This study reveals that government strategies have reshaped its landscape, triggering socio-economic and environmental conflicts. By analyzing historical policies, researchers identify how tourism development has altered territorial dynamics, particularly in peripheral areas like Xochimilco. The findings highlight the need for sustainable planning to address these multifaceted impacts, offering insights for future urban-rural management in similar contexts.
