San Francisco de Macorís faces urban planning challenges

San Francisco de Macorís has undergone significant economic, commercial, real estate, financial, and educational transformations in recent decades. While the city has seen an expansion of productive activities and private sector dynamism, this growth has not always been matched by adequate urban planning.

Key challenges facing the city include residential expansion, pressure on public services, traffic difficulties, insufficient storm drainage, and limitations in road infrastructure. Rather than lacking direction, the city requires strengthened institutional capacity to manage, organize, and sustain its ongoing growth.
