Mérida was too small for us.” Their growth is analyzed at a conference

The city was too small for the rate of demographic growth that has been demonstrated, and its main challenges are resources: water, electricity, and roads, said Luis Alfonso Ramírez Carrillo, PhD in sociology, researcher at the Social Sciences Unit of the “Dr. Hideyo Noguchi” Regional Research Center of the Autonomous University of Yucatan.

As we have seen, Mérida has a whole dynamic of urban growth that we all know, which implies an increase in people from outside, the monstrous vehicle fleet, the roads, a territorial expansion of the city also very large, over the entire metropolitan area, he said.

The researcher on the subject of migration is also a collaborator of the National University of Mexico (UNAM) and the Peninsular Center for Humanities and Social Sciences.

Dr. Luis Ramírez was invited to participate in the Seminar on Socio-territorial and Urban-environmental Processes in the Mexican Southeast, with the conference “Internal and International Migrations in Mérida”, on Tuesday, 10, at 12 noon, in the videoconference room of the Rendón Peniche headquarters of Cephcis.

The researcher will share an analysis he has carried out over the last few years on the migratory dynamics that impact the territory. It is fundamentally about presenting the background of migrations to Mérida and how the city has been growing and structuring itself in a metropolitan area.

I focus on the migrations of the twentieth century, he said.
