Resumo: From the assessment of the impacts of Mazatlan´s urban development, located on the Pacific coast, with the opening of the transoceanic highway that will connect it with Matamoros, in the Atlantic Ocean, forming the Northern Economic Corridor, it is shown the unfeasibility and the utopian of the speculative tourism project “Amaitlán. Garden City, Mazatlan”, located on Stone Island, which is promoted by a private developer as green and sustainable, able to generate a regional economic motor to double the local labor market in fifty years. The communal lands owned by the people of the island have entered a speculative game that in the medium term will affect its land and its habitat, falling into a logic of accumulation by dispossession. It is concluded that Mazatlan has a deficit of socio-institutional capabilities for territorial innovation on tourism.
