The area is of particular interest due to its demographic situation, as well as its geographical location. In fact, extensive low-income informal settlements are located close to river branches and protected mangrove areas, on which
the inhabitants of the area rely for access to drinking water, irrigation for urban agriculture, and nutritional resources such as clams, fruits, or vegetables. The mangroves also provide a natural barrier to one of the biggest issues
faced by the neighborhood, the floods during the rainy season. Another interesting characteristic of the area is that it will soon border one of the new urban centers planned in the 2035 master plan of the city. In addition to
being located directly at the level of one of the main roads connecting to the city center, this expected growth brings a great potential for the development of commercial activity.
