Perímetro de Contención Urbana

Spanish to English Social Sciences Architecture Urban development/City Planning (Mexico)
Los perímetros de contención urbana son un parámetro que indican dónde deben construirse las viviendas para que las personas vivan cerca de los servicios públicos. De no existir los PCUs, las viviendas se contruirían sin control, complicando el suministro de estos servicios.

Thomas Walker Sep 8, 2019:
@Wendy I agree, Wendy. I don't know if the target readership is U.S. or U.K., but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use it in the U.S., for either technical readers or a general readership.
Wendy Gosselin (asker) Sep 8, 2019:
Term I ended up going with: URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY All of the hits for "urban containment perimeter" are foreign sites (i.e. Mexico) or by Spanish speaking authors. "Catchment areas" is in reference to water management, i.e., not directly related to housing. "Urban growth boundary" is An urban growth boundary, or UGB, is a regional boundary, set in an attempt to control urban sprawl by, in its simplest form, mandating that the area inside the boundary be used for urban development and the area outside be preserved in its natural state or used for agriculture.

More references: Wendy, you may be right, but also wonder if they are quite the same? I am not questioning your choice as far as the question, but i think it needs further research. my perception is that one has a broader meaning than the other.

The Dictionary of Geography (2006) defines urban containment as “the policy of limiting sprawl by restricting out-of-town development.” Gabrielson, Yorg and Keith (1997) argue that this is a simple definition, as while it is true that the form of development aims to limit sprawl by restricting development outside a designated zone, a broader view would include the aims on in-town development.

In general, urban containment policies seek to use at least three different types of tools to shape metropolitan growth (Jabareen, 2006; Pendall, et al., 2002): Greenbelts and urban growth boundaries are used to affect the “push” factors, while urban service areas are used to affect the “pull” factors.

Urban Catchment Area

'Urban containment' tends to rhyme with the containing of urban sprawl.

There seems to be a misunderstanding about the meaning of catchment area that does not refer only to water management:

In human geography, a catchment area is the area from which a city, service or institution attracts a population that uses its services. For example, a school catchment area is the geographic area from which students are eligible to attend a local school.

'Governments and community service organizations often define catchment areas for planning purposes and public safety such as ensuring universal access to services like fire departments, police departments, ambulance bases and hospitals.'
