Prosperous Cities of Mexico, how are they evaluated?

Through the Index of Prosperous Cities seeks to understand the dynamics and challenges of urban environments to benefit its population

One of the greatest wishes of an inhabitant of any city is to be able to live in the best possible conditions, for which it is necessary to carry out actions in the medium and long term that benefit our social and urban environment.

The Index of Prosperous Cities (CPI for its acronym in English) is a scientific measurement instrument that reviews six dimensions to identify areas of opportunity that can be attacked and improved for the benefit of its residents.

The results of this indicator help the authorities to discuss policies and initiatives that allow the development of more prosperous cities and better living conditions.

In partnership with UN-Habitat, who created this instrument, Infonavit has implemented this index and evaluated 305 cities in the country. In this way, 90% of the urban localities in Mexico have been covered.

The 6 dimensions that the CPI reviews are:

1. Productivity Generation of income and employment

2. Development Infrastructure. Physical resources and equipment to support the population and the economy.

3. Quality of life. Education, health, recreation, culture and security.

4. Equity and social inclusion. Poverty and inequality

5. Environmental sustainability. Sustainable urbanization, environment, natural resources, water treatment, solid waste and renewable energy.

6. Governance and urban legislation. Framework and institutional capacity, social participation, public finances, legal framework and urban expansion.

The CPI project raises the need for a balance between the 6 dimensions of prosperity so that none of them advances without addressing the others, affecting or limiting the most harmonious growth and putting the sustainability of cities at risk.

By giving a rating in each dimension, in addition to generating recommendations, work plans can be defined with specific actions according to the local priorities of each demarcation, with the certainty that these recommendations are based on evidence.

In addition, it is a very useful tool for decision making, which benefits shared prosperity in cities. It also offers the possibility of rethinking the comparative advantages of cities under the aim of a comprehensive system of urban centers, and thus enhance the opportunities of each of them.

Without a doubt, with the CPI it is easier to know how to improve living conditions and identify possible improvements for citizens that guarantee greater prosperity. Know the evaluation of your city and compare it with other locations in Mexico and the world, download the official app for iOS  and Android where you will have all the information of the CPI at your fingertips.
