Some of the main problems that may face the production of urban indicators are lack of suitable data, having a weak infrastructure that prevents the process of collecting information in the state or the city and not having a system to connect different sources of information.

      Furthermore, the main problems that prevent the development of urban observatory is not having an annual budget to develop, operating the observatory, turning to the body hosting the urban observatory and specify a certain department to take charge of it.
