By Jos\u00e9 Antonio Torre<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cities are not only physical spaces, they are also a reflection of our collective decisions: how we move, how we live, how we coexist. And amid that complexity, I am convinced that urban transformation is possible<\/strong>, as long as we have the most valuable tools to make it happen: knowledge, collaboration, and a long-term vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why the opening of the new headquarters of the Center for the Future of Cities<\/a><\/strong><\/em> at the Mexico City Campus of Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey marks a very special milestone for me. Since I assumed the directorship of the Center in December 2022, we have worked with the conviction that changing the urban model in Mexico is not a utopia<\/strong>, but an urgent task that requires sustained effort, openness to multiple disciplines, and, above all, strong coordination with those who make decisions in the territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new space will allow us to be closer to many of the country\u2019s most complex urban realities, and also closer to those who live in and manage them. Mexico City\u2014and particularly the southern area of the capital, from the Tlalpan District<\/strong>\u2014offers us a vibrant ecosystem where initiatives, projects, and communities are already working toward building a fairer, more resilient, and more inclusive city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
