Abstract

This paper describes the coordination problems of the Metropolitan Environmental Commission and its importance in solving environmental problems in the Mexico City metropolitan area. After comparing different international models and conducting longitudinal qualitative research based on interviews with key public managers and private stakeholders, three organizational scenarios are described and evaluated for feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability by power groups. The result is the creation of the Metropolitan Environmental Institute, which proposes a new form of environmental management that has a high probability of being accepted by key decision-makers.
