En el municipio de Puebla, el crecimiento ilegal sobre zonas inundables ha superado la capacidad de gestión
pública local ya que a pesar de existir 17,585 viviendas en riesgo de inundación no hay mecanismos oficiales
claros de acciones preventivas. La colaboración entre el sector público y social para prevenir dicho riesgo es un
paso fundamental que tratamos de implementar en la Microcuenca Clavijero, Municipio de Puebla, donde la
Universidad ha adquirido un rol informador y de vinculación entre ambos actores. Nuestro objetivo es mostrar la
importancia de la prevención del riesgo a través de la colaboración entre actores, las dificultades para construir
un proceso de gestión de tal naturaleza, así como nuestros avances en un contexto con fuertes límites
conceptuales sobre la gestión del riesgo, financieros y organizacionales.
In the city of Puebla, illegal urban growth in floodplains has exceeded the capacity of local governance since,
despite the existence of 17.585 homes at risk of flooding, there are still no clear formal mechanisms of
preventive actions. The collaboration between the public and social sectors to prevent that risk is a crucial step
that we are trying to implement in Micro basin Clavijero, City of Puebla, where the University has acquired a role
as informer and mediator between both actors. Our aim is to show the importance of risk prevention through
collaboration between actors, the difficulties to build a management process of this kind, as well as our progress
in a context marked by a technocratic vision with strong financial, legal and organizational limits.
