Cross-Border Planning and Colonias Monitoring
January 2005
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
collaborated with the U.S. Department of Interior, Geological
Survey (USGS) and Mexican partners to create a binational
Internet-based Geographic Information System (GIS) applications
for four sister cities along the US/Mexico Border. These
include El
Paso/Ciudad Juarez, Eagle
Pass/Piedras Negras, Douglas/Agua
Prieta, and Ambos
Nogales. For each of the urban areas, the web mapping
applications provide statistical and spatial analysis tools
to plan for future growth scenarios, estimate infrastructure
development costs for the colonias, and supply binational
demographic census data for economic growth models.
A collaboration between HUD-USGS
and Mexico to support Ex-President Bush's Partnership for Prosperity
Initiative and the U.S.-Mexico Binational Commission.
