Estrategia Nacional de Ordenamiento Territorial (ENOT)

Action Implemented

The National Strategy for Territorial Planning ENOT is a medium and long-term public policy that seeks to contribute to the reduction of social inequalities, build more sustainable, safe and inclusive human, rural and urban settlements, as well as promote a more rational use of natural resources, with the territory as the sphere of action. ENOT is based on three national axes: Territorial Structuring, Territorial Development and Territorial Governance. This new vision of Territorial Planning includes attention to territorial problems with a regional scale that incorporates Urban Rural Systems (SUR) as a minimum geographic unit that transcends administrative boundaries (grouping non-urbanized areas, urban centers and functionally linked rural settlements); it is aligned with the different instruments related to territorial planning and the International Agreements signed by Mexico, such as the NAU; it incorporates goals that seek to contribute to the commitments established in the Sustainable Development Goals.

Outcomes and Expected Impact

Upon its publication, the Strategy will become an instrument that, with a systemic vision, will guide the different spheres of public power, in coordination with the social and private sectors, towards a more sustainable use and exploitation of the territory. In this sense, the ENOT is inclusive in social and territorial terms since it contemplates all urban settlements and incorporates rural settlements from a functional logic based on the social and economic links that exist between settlements.

Sustainability and Scalability

The strategy identifies nine potential aspects and opportunities for the country's development, such as: growth of the domestic market and labor force; social, cultural, economic and environmental wealth; natural resources and biodiversity; and potential for tourism development. On the other hand, it has a common welfare purpose towards 2040.

Innovative and Cultural Aspects

By 2040, the Land Management model in Mexico proposed in the ENOT will contribute to promoting social, economic, and cultural development in harmony with the rational use of natural heritage, forming a territorial structure articulated by regions that take advantage of the benefits of agglomeration economies to expand and diversify their productivity, reduce social inequalities, preserve and restore the ecological balance and build safe and inclusive environments with the participation of society in decision making.
