A little less than 15 years the authorities began to design a "green belt" around it, in order to restore and enhance the green areas peripheral to the city. Here, as in almost every city, were undergoing a process of gradual degradation.
In turn, this physical border was intended to draw a line the expansive growth of the development projects of the era, including the creation of new industrial parks, residential neighborhoods and new roads on rural and agricultural land, located on the outskirts of the city's traditional radio.
