Today, over half of the world’s population lives in cities, and it is projected that by 2050, seven out of every 10 people will inhabit them<\/strong>. When properly planned and managed, these metropolises can contribute to innovation and the healthy development of societies. Science can help make this happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economically, more than 80% of the global gross domestic product (GDP) is generated in these centers<\/a>. Still, the accelerated and disorganized pace at which they grow can exacerbate inequalities and worsen environmental degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, through disciplines such as complexity science<\/a>, urban planning, and architecture, these spaces can be optimally designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCities can be a catalyst for the transformation of people’s lives,\u201d said Juan Pablo Murra<\/a>, rector of Tec de Monterrey, during the opening ceremony of the Mexico City branch of the Center for the Future of Cities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new space will share the same research focuses as the Monterrey campus: city science and social and environmental urbanism. Through mathematical and physical models, simulations,\u00a0artificial intelligence<\/a>, and fieldwork, students and researchers at the center will collaborate to study human, ecological and territorial dynamics, aiming<\/span> to improve the way people live in cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnderstanding the city is not an end in itself, but a means to collaborate with governments, communities, and decision-makers on long-term planning and effective short-term action,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 Antonio Torre<\/a>, director of the Center for the Future of Cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the event, Elsa Arcuate<\/a>, researcher at the Center for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) at University College London, England, gave a keynote conference in which she explained the importance of using research to create cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complexity Science to Create Better Cities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throughout her career, Arcuate has specialized in research on the dynamics of cities, focusing on\u00a0data science, mathematical models, and network theory to<\/strong>\u00a0address<\/span> topics such as urban sustainability, territorial planning, and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA city is a very complex system that must be understood from different perspectives and areas,\u201d said the expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to her, cities are ideal spaces for innovation, but to achieve this, the different aspects involved in creating a space like it must be taken into account: human capital, labor supply, industries, education, services, infrastructure, sustainability, transportation, energy, access to affordable and dignified housing, and social cohesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\r\n \r\n \"\"\r\n <\/picture>
\u201cI’ve worked with geographers, architects, mathematicians, urban planners, physicists, and social scientists; it takes teamwork to understand cities,\u201d said Elsa Arcuate. (Photo: Communications Team \/ CCM Campus)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To address a topic as complex as an intervention to improve a city or starting one from scratch, using complexity science is a good strategy, as it is a discipline with a multidisciplinary approach that seeks to understand and analyze complex systems composed of many interconnected elements that interact in a nonlinear manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you think about the social layer of a city, it’s going to move much faster than the infrastructure layer,\u201d Arcuate explained. \u201cWe need to be able to create models that go through all those areas and layers, to see how we fit the different aspects together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the researcher has utilized simulations and data analysis to comprehend the dynamics of cities and\u00a0forecast their behavior<\/strong>, providing a basis for creating improvements and designing solutions to the problems encountered<\/span> in cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnderstanding how each of these layers has different dynamics and are coupled to other parts of the system is absolutely essential,\u201d the researcher emphasized. \u201cWe can’t have a model that has everything, but we can think about how to accommodate the different parts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is Essential to Promote Equity and Sustainability in Cities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the use of models and data is essential to understanding how cities function, it is also crucial to remember that behind every number are people who inhabit those spaces. Therefore, any analysis or intervention must be based on a perspective of social justice and equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we see is that there are many people who are not represented in the data; recognizing this, understanding why this happens, and understanding the limitations of the available information is essential,\u201d said Arcuate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This aligns with the Center for the Future of Cities’ vision to serve as a hub for academia, government, the private sector, and communities to collaborate on developing collective solutions for urban life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCities encompass many of the great challenges of our time, but we also believe in their capacity to be drivers of justice, well-being, and shared prosperity,\u201d said Torre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the new headquarters will serve as a strategic point to promote research that enhances the lives of people in Mexico City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the event Gabriela Osorio<\/a>, Mayor of Tlalpan; Enrique Irazoque<\/a>, Undersecretary of Planning and Territorial Development; Manola Zabalza<\/a>, Head of the Mexico City Secretariat of Economic Development; and Paulina Campos<\/a>, Vice President of the Tec de Monterrey Mexico City Region, were present and emphasized their commitment to the healthy development of cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCities are often used as an expression of poverty, but we rarely hear about how they can be a tool to end it,\u201d said Zabalza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, the center’s researchers hope that collaboration with authorities will lead to evidence-based actions that positively impact the way people live in Mexico City and serve as an inspiration for other cities. Multidisciplinary research will also be essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’ve worked with geographers, architects, mathematicians, urban planners, physicists, and social scientists,\u201d Arcuate said. \u201cIt takes teamwork to understand cities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi trabajo ha sido publicado en medios como Science, Science News, Newsweek, Nexos, \u00bfC\u00f3mo ves?, entre otros. Estudi\u00e9 Biolog\u00eda en la Facultad de Ciencias de la UNAM y ah\u00ed descubr\u00ed mi pasi\u00f3n por comunicarle a todas las personas el conocimiento cient\u00edfico y su relevancia social. Creo que la ciencia, al fomentar el pensamiento cr\u00edtico, puede empoderar a la humanidad y, al ser la base de los avances tecnol\u00f3gicos, puede ayudarla a vivir en las mejores condiciones posibles.","url":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/author\/igutierrez\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
