Objective: To identify the basic geostatistical areas (AGEBS) that until 2019 were classified as priority attention zones, in order to analyze the lack of amenities and to assess indicators for monitoring sustainable development in the urban area of the municipality of Chihuahua.
Design/Methodology/Approach: An analytical-synthetic methodology was used. Bibliographical and statistical techniques were applied to study the levels that are ref lected at the national and municipal scales, as well as the indicators of socially underdeveloped areas, in order to make proposals for their improvement.
Results: Based on a diagnosis of the marginalization levels in the City of Chihuahua, Chih., 3% of the city population lives in areas with scarce or non-existent amenities, generating low development in its inhabitants.
Study Limitations/Implications: The distances between the different types of amenities in the city were determined, as well as the access to essential amenities (i.e., education and health). These amenities are located at inaccessible distances.
Findings/Conclusions: We would like to propose a compact and connected city model where amenities are nearby. This proposal includes the densification of the main sub-centers of the city, as well as the optimization of the required resources and the necessary infrastructure for the provision of services and urban equipment. The ultimate objective is to prevent the ongoing and disproportionate growth of the city.
