| Sumario: | The objective of this article is to analyze the issue of cross-border planning initiatives focused on mobility in the Matamoros-Brownsville (RMB) region, as a case of success, and through this to reflect on the urban-transboundary planning processes that have been implemented. The document tests the hypothesis that transboundary mobility in the RMB not only focuses on the spaces of flow that facilitate the crossings of goods and people, but also on the spaces of place that generate a collective identity and roots to such places. The two case studies addressed are the relocation of the railway tracks and the creation of the Binational Cultural Center (CeCuBi). The planning process for the Railway Project began in 2001 and operations were initiated in August 2015, while the second phase of the project, the CeCuBi, began its construction phase in August 2021. |
