Currently, the volume of projects produced within universities in Mexico is immense, and we believe it is the perfect time to showcase some of their best work. Many undergraduate theses, also known as final graduation projects, address highly interesting and valuable topics for the country; unfortunately, the vast majority end up stored on library shelves or in a computer folder, missing the opportunity to drive real change in our cities and how we inhabit them.
If you believe your final graduation project is strong enough to be published on our site, and that your effort deserves to be known (and recognized) by the rest of the world, do not hesitate to submit it using the form at the end of this article.
