Climate change is an issue that has gained increasing traction in public and professional discourse over recent years, driven by a clear urgency to research, document, and mitigate environmental damage through multidisciplinary strategies that raise awareness of our current reality. Organizations such as the UN have issued a global call to action to adopt measures that end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
In response, Mexican architects such as Alberto Kalach have shown a keen interest in researching and planning the territory we inhabit. Their goal is to design new strategies for thinking about cities holistically—viewing them as living systems whose geographic (and, in the case of Mexico City, hydrologic) memory remains active today.
