The Mextrópoli Architecture and City Festival presents its new 2022 edition in collaboration with the Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism, cementing its status as a benchmark event in Mexico City's cultural agenda and a global point of interest among specialized architecture events. Maintaining a high-level curatorial standard, MEXTRÓPOLI brings the voices of globally recognized architects, artists, mayors, and humanists to the public, offering affordable access for students and anyone interested in the present and future directions of the city. Mextrópoli is a platform that allows for experiencing the city, as well as reflecting on its political, civic, and aesthetic dimensions.
Taking place from September 21 to 25, this edition of MEXTRÓPOLI positions itself on the global stage as one of the most important platforms for discussing issues relevant to the future of cities.
