Catedra Blanca, regeneracion centrito valle
Today using birdfeeder I accidentally stumbled across the presentation of a urban regeneration proposal for one of “Centrito Valle” an historical and key area of garza garcia (monterrey practically).
Its proposed by “Catedra Blanca” sponsored by CEMEX Mexico and ITESM. Coordinated by Urban Planing office: IMPLAN San Pedro (Instituto Municipal de Planeacion Urbana de San Pedro Garza Garcia)
For one thing I’m glade that even if its 40 years late (at least), we are starting to plan our urban development, the proposal includes mix use of ground, hybrid buildings and tons of natural lightning and conditioning.
What still worries me is that they plan to use massive amounts of cement (remember the sponsor CEMEX?) which might not be the best solution if we are planning to mitigate an heat island effect and leverage better solutions against global warming.
but who knows, I’m not an architect urbanist nor civil engineer and nevertheless this is an important step towards progress and a better living for future generations.
