| Summary: | The objective of this article is to analyze and know the main mechanisms for incorporating agricultural land into the urban land market, particularly for massive housing projects on the periphery of the metropolitan zone of Mexicali, Baja California.With the support of techniques and methodological tools such as Geographic Information Systems (gis), bibliographic-documentary statistical-institutional review and field work, the areas of urban growth and their percentages, location of real estate projects and incorporation mechanisms were identified and known from agrarian property to urban processes within the period 1990-2018. Taking as study areas four agrarian nuclei (na) geographically immediate to the urban area of the metropolitan zone, the moments within the period studied are visible where various mass housing complexes and the social actors and participating institutions are detonated. It is interesting how this dispersed urban expansion that was oriented on these nas is far from being a process planned or regulated by the local government to the extent that territorial surfaces of these analyzed areas were not part of the territorial reserves considered by the municipality and its urban instruments for the future growth of the city which has already passed them. |
