MEXICO LOCAL ENGAGEMENTS

In 2016, Rebuild by Design worked with the Mexico City office of Resilience and Keystone Partners to develop a collaborative research and design approach to help Mexico City develop a plan for Xochimilco, a UNESCO cultural heritage area, to address climate change, water challenges, housing issues, and agricultural and tourism opportunities.

Plaza Juan Gabriel, named in honor of Mexico’s most notable entertainer and local Juarense Juan Gabriel, is located in the city’s downtown area and acts as both a memorial of the icon, and a signifier of the resilience of a city and people that have faced difficult conditions in recent decades.
