Welcome to Visión: Frontera, a unique project to analyze the
suitability of Rancho San Eduardo, in northeastern Mexico, for sustainable human
settlement. This project is being conducted by the Community and Regional
Planning Program at the University of Texas.
The following reports introduce the project mission, describe
the characteristics of the study area, explain the environmental analysis we
conducted, and report our findings regarding the land's inherent suitability for
agriculture, settlement and preservation.
The data referred to at left and on subsequent pages are not all available
online. They are nevertheless listed on these pages to indicate the extent
of the information gathered and generated throughout the course. PDF, JPG
and TIF files are linked online, where appropriate.
This project is being conducted by graduate students in the Graduate Program
in Community and Regional Planning at the University of Texas at Austin, School
of Architecture. Professor Kent Butler is supervising the project.
