Description
Summary:This article analyzes if governability exists in the metropolitan area of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. For that, we analyze the scope of the coordination contract agreed eight years ago by the three government orders. The pertinence of this work is that it contributes to the studies of the metropolitan governability in the country, starting from a case study which is characterized by an economic, demographic and urban dynamism. The results of this exploratory research are that the obstacles to effective metropolitan management have been stronger, despite the participation of several important actors. Thus, it is predicted that the demands of citizens for a higher quality of life will continue.
