At an urban scale, in many cases, the deterioration manifests itself in an almost

uncontrolled development and in a certain way chaotic, both in physic-

environmental and socio-economical aspects. These processes are developed with
patterns that do not take account of constraints and opportunities emerged from
the climate and the environment. And they have as framework the low quality and
efficiency of urban services and infrastructure. All this "as a result, in one hand of
the lack of resources and insufficient investment in infrastructure and on the other
hand, of the constraints of local governments in their ability to plan, coordinate and
manage the city growth"
