TL;DR: In this article, the authors trace the interactions between system dynamics and decision-making processes over 700 years of Mexico City's adaptations to water risks, focusing on the decision cycles of public infrastructure providers (in this case, government authorities).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe and discuss how they combined multicriteria decision analysis and system analysis as a unified approach to sustainability assessment, which is transparent, practical, flexible, and reproducible; it also facilitates the development of recommendations for enhancing sustainability.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-scalar analysis of the Mexican maize system is presented to provide insight into the sector's evolution over the last 30 years, including climate trends, domestic and international market dynamics, and domestic policy changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the problem of hydrological risk in Mexico City, where vulnerabilities to flooding and water scarcity are interconnected temporally and spatially, yet the formal and informal institutions and actors involved in the production and management of vulnerability are divided into two discrete problem domains: land-use planning and water resource management.
