Chapter

Abstract

The binational metropolis of San Diego–Tijuana has been described as a ‘hot zone’ of North American integration. Over the past two decades these twin cities have melded into one intertwined unit that local leaders boast is becoming one of the continent’s most vital regionstates. As one of the cross-border microregions that span both the developed and developing worlds, San Diego–Tijuana presents unique advantages and unique challenges in the context of global economic integration.
