The Municipality of León, through the León Municipal Housing Institute (IMUVI) and the León Municipal Planning Institute (IMPLAN), invites students, faculty, and professionals to participate in the Second National Ideas Competition: Intra-urban Housing and Park Solution.

Driven by the vision of redirecting how we plan and manage cities, we invite you to participate in this rethinking process by submitting conceptual proposals for intra-urban social housing.
