Urban design can make or break a city's livability. #Monterrey's case study demonstrates the importance of 'cool infrastructure' like vegetation cover for urban temperature regulation. Dig into the data: https://bit.ly/3OvHxJX World Resources Institute México #urbanheat

We are taking a risk to consume the whole area to be industrial but, also to innovate of how can we achieve to become part of the environment. //// Nos estamos arriesgando a consumir toda la zona para ser industrial pero, también a innovar de cómo podemos conseguir formar parte del entorno

A year ago, I led a team to undertake the first of this visual analysis for a Mexican city. The results were indisputably clear. More vegetation coverage substantially reduce the surface temperature in the city. Monterrey is leading this effort with their green corridors strategic initiative. Over 30 cities in Mexico are suffering from extreme urban heat. They should follow Monterrey example.

Urban design can make or break a city's livability during #heatwaves. #Monterrey's case study demonstrates the critical importance of 'cool infrastructure' — particularly trees — for temperature regulation. 🌳🌳🌳 Dig into the data: https://bit.ly/3JPYYD4 #UrbanHeat

Better cities provide better opportunities for everyone. Understanding how to leverage the greatest potential from the linear infrastructure we create to connect with each other will be enable us to gain the most from the places we live.

What if our cities didn’t have to look the way they do now? What if, instead of being crammed into giant vertical glass boxes, we had terraces with gardens, air, open space, and a real connection to nature? And what if our skyscrapers soared diagonally instead? And what if they weren’t skyscrapers at all but stacked villages with flying streets in between them and every amenity you could dream of just a short distance away? This is Habitat 67 and it may be one of the most important building ideas of the 20th century. It reimagined urban living and inspired a generation of architects.
