Abstract

From  a  polycentric  analysis  applied  to  mezzo  regional  level are  characterized  the  urban  and  peri-urban’s protected natural areas systems (PNAS) in the Mexican cities of Guadalajara and Monterrey. These systems have been defned by the proximity of the PNA’s to the urban areas, but not by a policy perspective or an existing public policy. The protected natural areas comprised in both systems are administered and managed by diferent levels of government (federal, state and municipal), which are facing major challenges in their management because of the local urbanization processes. Being one of the most important issues, the lack of coordination and communication between government authorities at diferent levels. The research is conducted based on the analysis of documentary information specialized in these subjects and empirical data gathered through interviews with key stakeholders in each metropolis.
