Building up the metropolis, integrating the Cities of Aguascalientes, San Francisco, Leon, Guanajuato, Silao, Irapuato, Salamanca, Celaya and Queretaro will multiply efficiency with a GDP leap beyond 30%.
Designing the 20 urban centralities (TOD's) of the metropolis will contribute to prevent urban sprawl and uncontrolled developments. It will provide support for 300.000 dwellings and 1 million inhabitants on the self-finance 60 kms long proposed commuter train.
