This strategy aims to improve the quality of life of citizens and the recovery of the street, allowing more space allocated to pedestrian mobility and moderate traffic speed.
This is considered the urban renewal of public road space, which includes the expansion of sidewalks, creating crosswalks ears, accessibility of pedestrian routes or placement of decorative elements (trees, planters etc.), as elements of safety and delimitation. The aim is to obtain a new distribution where there is more public space to pedestrians and the private vehicle is restricted, the benefits offered are:
- Give more attention to pedestrian: 30km/h areas encourage social gathering and more equitable public space allocation among different users, so the streets as a place of coexistence recover their public space vocation.
- Avoid passing traffic: The speed reduction and the creation of closed circuit circulation discourages motorists with long-distance routes to use the roads in Zone 30.

On the Municipality's Urban Development Plan
The development strategy provides that the time for opening new areas of development is based on the status of service feasibility
hidrical and electrical infrastructure and the availability of roads to reach the new area, also suitability of education facilities, health and recreation; and in the capacity of the municipality and the agencies responsible for provide service coverage of public transport, policing, garbage collection, and the existence of infrastructure against natural phenomena to avoiding risk areas and within
an adequate stormwater discharge, and others.
Considering the above, the opening of Phase II, will be held once the areas of Phase I reach an occupation of at least 80% of the area in each one of the urban planning sector.

The Humedales de la Laguna La Cruz (6,665 hectares, 28°47’15”N 111°52’53”W) has been designated by Mexico’s Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT), that country’s 139th Wetland of International Importance. As summarized by Ramsar’s Sara Casallas Ramirez, the new site is a small bay in the northern Gulf of California, characterized by intertidal marshes, intertidal forested wetlands, and mud, sand or salt flats, with mangrove forests that are unique as they are located near the northern limit of their distribution and, within the Sonorean Desert area, lack fresh water inputs. As part of the Pacific Migratory Route, it is an important rest area for migratory birds, providing food and refuge to a total of 154 species of birds, of which 84 are aquatic species. Some 96 fish species have been identified at the site, which is also vital for some species during adverse climatic conditions and as a breeding area of various fish, mollusc and crustacean species. It also supports such threatened species as the Green Sea Turtle Chelonia mydas and the Elegant Tern Sterna elegans among others.
The site is highly significant for local communities as it maintains the fisheries of the area and is also important for tourism and research.

In order to provide a safe and sustainable waste tires for disposal, the City of Hermosillo and Ecoltec company signed a cooperation agreement to collect and recycle these wastes for cement manufacturing.
Mayor Alejandro López Caballero and commercial manager Ecoltec Mexico subsidiary of Holcim Group, Armando Fernandez Morales, shaped each document formalizing actions such as registration of business establishments dealing with used tires.
López Caballero stressed the importance of this partnership between the municipal government and the private sector in terms of win-win, as it will the best solution to a difficult reality to attend, as is the generation of a monthly average of seven thousand 700 tires waste in the city.
The disadvantages of tires left as litter on the streets, are counted that are breeding grounds for vermin such as rats and dengue mosquito transmitter; also affect the city's image and pose a high risk of fire, with the aggravating circumstance that they emit large amount of GHG and smoke particles into the environment.
From this agreement, a dynamic collection of scrap tires will start, by crews Ecoltec, from routes designed according to a standard of facilities, to be transferred to the plant of Holcim Mexico in Hermosillo, where they are being crushed and some portion is being use as alternative fuel in the furnaces at 2000 degrees centigrade.
This process revealed is known as "complete combustion" were the heat is so intense that it prevents the tires of emanating toxic smoke, as would occur with other common open burning. The result of this combustion is incorporated into the cement manufacturing process.

The field test is a joint project between the University of Sonora and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). This action will promote the development and research on the use of renewable energy sources, said State Secretary of Economy.
The installation of the heliostat field will be in the Department of Agriculture and Livestock of the Unison, at kilometer 21 on the road to Bahia de Kino, part of the National Laboratory of Concentration and Solar Chemical, said the head of the Energy Commission of the state Jesus Luis Celaya Gortari.
The field is conditioned for 82 heliostats from which are expected a thousand suns concentration, also has a central tower, an image and data acquisition system for testing heliostat, experimental booth and control room.
In the test field of heliostats in Sonora will be conducted research on the technology of the heliostats, including evaluation and standardization, development of components and solar thermal electricity generation, among other topics. Currently generates 2 MWh per year
