description The 21st century has been marked by numerous migrant mobilizations, whether due to warlike, environmental, political, cultural, or economic circumstances. Specifically, the migratory crisis that occurs on the northern border of Mexico has put on the table the urgency of having sufficient and adequate equipment and infrastructure to meet the needs of the newcomers. The deficit of services and basic entities to attend to these socio-urban phenomena aggravates the possibilities of finding temporary housing, legal advice, or medical and psychological attention; in addition to making, it difficult to obtain income and integration into the social and cultural dynamics of the locality, among other favorable conditions for habitability. In this regard, the United Nations Organization points out, within the New Urban Agenda, the importance of creating accessible human settlements, which guarantee respect for the human rights of those who have been forced to displace. So, if contemporary cities are colloquially referred to as “concrete jungles” since a complex spatial development is manifested in them, how would the daily problems of mobility, infrastructure, and urban habitability be perceived from the particular circumstances of vulnerability, insecurity, and uncertainty experienced by migrants and refugees. It will be that the Mexican border cities are prepared for its reception. The purpose of the following writing is to present an advance in the research project entitled "Habitability and equipment for the northern border of Mexico, which has as part of its objectives to interpret the conditions in which the migratory crisis occurs, particularly in the capital city from Mexicali, Baja California. For this, the project privileges the qualitative approach by identifying, documenting, analyzing, and evaluating everything that concerns human settlements and recognizing both the urban and socio-cultural aspects of the phenomenon.

El siglo XXI se ha visto marcado por las numerosas movilizaciones migrantes, ya sea por circunstancias bélicas, medio ambientales, políticas, culturales o económicas. Puntualmente, la crisis migratoria que se presenta en la frontera norte de México ha puesto sobre la mesa la urgencia de contar con equipamiento e infraestructura suficiente y adecuada para cubrir las necesidades de los recién llegados. El déficit de servicios y entidades básicas para atender estos fenómenos socio-urbanos agrava las posibilidades de encontrar vivienda provisional, asesoría legal o atención médica y psicológica; además de dificultar la obtención de ingresos y la integración a las dinámicas sociales y culturales de la localidad, entre otras condiciones favorables para la habitabilidad. Al respecto, la Organización de las Naciones Unidas señala, dentro de la Nueva Agenda Urbana, la importancia de crear asentamientos humanos accesibles, que garanticen el respeto a los derechos humanos de quienes se han visto forzados a desplazarse. Entonces, si a las ciudades contemporáneas se les refiere coloquialmente como “selvas de concreto”, puesto que en ellas se manifiesta un desarrollo espacial complejo, cómo serían percibidas las problemáticas diarias de movilidad, infraestructura y habitabilidad urbana desde las circunstancias particulares de vulnerabilidad, inseguridad e incertidumbre que atraviesan migrantes y refugiados. Será que las ciudades fronterizas mexicanas están preparadas para su recepción. El siguiente escrito tiene la finalidad de presentar un avance en el proyecto de investigación titulado “Habitabilidad y equipamiento para la frontera norte de México, que tiene como parte de sus objetivos el interpretar las condiciones en que se da la crisis migratoria particularmente en la ciudad capital de Mexicali, Baja California. Para ello, el proyecto privilegia el enfoque cualitativo al identificar, documentar, analizar y evaluar todo aquello que atañe a los asentamientos humanos y reconocer los aspectos tanto urbanísticos como socioculturales del fenómeno.
