description 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.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la planeación transfronteriza enfocada en la movilidad en la región Matamoros-Brownsville (RMB), como un caso de éxito, y a través de este reflexionar sobre los procesos de planeación urbano-transfronteriza que se implementaron. El documento pone a prueba la hipótesis de que la movilidad transfronteriza en la RMB no solamente se enfoca en los espacios de flujo que facilitan los cruces de mercancías y personas, sino también en los espacios de lugar que generan una identidad colectiva y arraigo al lugar. Los dos estudios de caso que se abordan son la relocalización de las vías del ferrocarril y la creación del Centro Cultural Binacional (CeCuBi). El proceso de planeación para el Proyecto Ferroviario se inició en 2001 y entró en operaciones en agosto de 2015, mientras que la segunda fase del proyecto, el CeCuBi, comenzó su etapa de construcción en agosto de 2021. 2021-12-31 2022-03-22T15:21:08Z 2022-03-22T15:21:08Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.sisomosamericanos.cl/index.php/sisomosamericanos/article/view/1036 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/81045 spa https://www.sisomosamericanos.cl/index.php/sisomosamericanos/article/view/1036/686 Derechos de autor 2021 Si Somos Americanos.
