This is a zone that is vulnerable to floodings. Due to its geological formation potential landslides are ever present and ever increasing since, from the seismic standpoint, this is a critical zone as well. Furthermore, the city’s surrounding vegetation has evolved in such a way that it has adapted to frequent natural fires; it thus needs such fires for its permanence. The urban style of development as well as the the limited notion of green areas in Tijuana has brought about an increase in the degree of risk to such types of natural disturbances. In fact, according to Tijuana’s XIV Municipal Authorities (Ayuntamiento), 40% of the city’s population lives in high risk zones. Due to the aforementioned, a strategy for urban forestation mainly oriented towards the hillsides is proposed. The aim is to create a network of green areas so as to diminish the risks the population may be exposed to on account of floodings, landslides or landslips, while simultaneously preserving the natural flows and reducing the current deficit of green areas. El medio físico en el que se asienta la ciudad de Tijuana presenta ciertas características que hacen muy compleja su problemática ambiental. Es una zona vulnerable a inundaciones, en la que por su formación geológica existen derrumbes potenciales, los cuales aumentan debido a que también es una zona sensible desde el punto de vista sísmico. Asimismo, la vegetación que rodea a la ciudad ha evolucionado adaptándose a incendios naturales frecuentes por lo que requiere de ellos para su permanencia. El estilo de desarrollo urbano al igual que el concepto restringido de lo que constituyen las áreas verdes de Tijuana han acrecentado el grado de riesgo a este tipo de perturbaciones naturales. De hecho, según el XIV Ayuntamiento de Tijuana, 40% de la población de la ciudad vive en zonas de alto riesgo. Con base en lo anterior se propone una estrategia de forestación urbana, orientada especialmente hacia las laderas, creando una red de áreas verdes, con la finalidad de disminuir los riesgos a los que la población está expuesta por inundaciones, deslaves y derrumbes, a la vez que se mantengan los flujos naturales y se reduzca el actual déficit de áreas verdes.
