• Abstract:

  This study analyzed citizen perception in relation to urban and territorial development in the state of Tabasco, Mexico, which focused on analyzing key elements such as infrastructure, public services, environmental sustainability and social cohesion, based on the design of the public policy implemented through the State Program for Land Use Planning and Urban Development (PEOTDU), which is an instrument that aims to analyze patterns of territorial occupation and institutional architecture to improve the welfare conditions of people towards economic, social and sustainable growth of human settlements. It was carried out through a mixed methodology that integrated surveys and qualitative analysis of experts, identifying the main challenges and opportunities based on the perception of the population. The results indicate that urban development in Tabasco faces significant challenges in areas such as infrastructure, mobility, public safety, risk management, economic diversification and local governance. Investment in these sectors, as well as improved mechanisms for citizen participation, are essential for a more sustainable and resilient urban future.
