After many years of being a small town and limited in its spatial development for the existence of the Exclusion Area of the Canal Zone transfer to Panamanian hands, as well as a recent boom has resulted in an economic expansion space of the city without any real vision on the nature of the extension or the consequences thereof. In turn the deficiencies of the system of urban transport, both public and private, seem to have reached manageable limits and adoption of projects or partial measures of the past few years have not yielded the expected results. This combination of uncontrolled urban development and urban inadequate transport system exacerbates the effects of congestion, pollution and excessive travel times of users, thus tending to reduce overall accessibility of the city and hamper the economic activities to develop. This jeopardizes the role of the business center, finance and dynamic trade Panama has had in the past. In view of the recent decision of expansion in the Panama Canal, the choice of development model of the city is even more urgent to define.  Ver menos -
