“…The review shows that very little headway has been made with regards to the development of rural green infrastructure in Mexico, instead with the majority of funding being poured into urban greening projects, especially in Mexico City. This is a trend seen in other countries too, given that 54% of the world's population is now urban (Dandekar & Hibbard, 2016). However, it is also important to consider the fact that the world's rural population has almost doubled since 1950 and now stands at 3.3 billion (Dandekar & Hibbard, 2016).…”

However, it is also important to consider the fact that the world's rural population has almost doubled since 1950 and now stands at 3.3 billion (Dandekar & Hibbard, 2016). While 80% of Mexico's citizens live in urban areas (GIZ, 2018), the remainder lives in rural communities.…”

“…For example, the EU's strategy (European Commission, 2013) strives to improve access to financing for green infrastructure projects considering the potential of financed interventions to "change the underlying paradigm." Given the increasing global rural population (Dandekar & Hibbard, 2016), the amount being spent on rural green infrastructure is increasing. Yet, in developing or recently industrialised countries, green infrastructure developments are failing due to a lack of resources.…”

Green Infrastructure in Rural Communities of Mexico

Residents of Mexico’s communities face considerable health issues. The improvement of green infrastructure bolsters the efforts of rural communities in maintaining high standards of health, subsequently making rural communities as habitable as possible. This paper aims to critically assess the existing literature on this topic between 2000 and 2018 because most sources fell comfortably within this range and no other comparable systematic review, either selective or comprehensive in nature, has been conducted in this respect. The results of the review suggest that a greater focus on the development of green infrastructure in rural areas is required.

“…After centuries of exploitation of the rural for sourcing urban consumption (food, industrial inputs, and energy), rural planning emerged as a response to urban problems. In the US [1] and Australia [2], rural planning was initiated by the demand to create villages and small towns that combine the virtues of town and country to minimize city problems. Against the US, Australia, and the UK, rural planning in China emerged as an initiative to balance urban and rural development disparities and further advanced to ecological restoration [2].…”

Under rural revitalization and rapid construction in China, the mismatch between contemporary rural communities and villagers’ space behavior habits has attracted widespread attention. This study proposes and practices a design methodology for a newly built rural community based on spatial elements and their relationship with the behavior of local ancient villages. We explore the relationship between the two by applying drone-tech aerial photos, GPS, and ArcGIS. The results indicate that: (1) Ancient villages have abundant external spatial elements different from urban communities. Each space element of the ancient village has a specific function corresponding to the villagers’ daily life needs. (2) Village space elements are outcomes of the sociocultural process, and their topological structure is not random but follows their use based on hours of the day. (3) About 94.6% of space use behavior in the case of ancient village residents is associated with five space elements. (4) Updating the external spatial elements of ancient villages under the demands of contemporary life makes the application of spatial elements not only continue the villagers’ natural life process, but also satisfy the demands of the contemporary way of life on the external space. This study proposes the characteristics of the relationship between ancient village spatial behavior and external spatial elements through scientific analysis methods, which can provide references for contemporary rural planning and help to solve the mismatch problem between contemporary rural communities and villagers’ behavior habits.
