The second Housing Dialogue: "Housing and Roots" will explore the case of Pacífico 223. The discussion will cover life before the earthquake, the meaning of housing for individuals and communities, the emotional bonds born from memories associated with a home, the grief that follows its loss, and the collectives that emerge and strengthen through reconstruction efforts.

This international event is organized by the Faculty of Architecture - Department of Academic Direction (DDAA), the Postgraduate Unit of the UNCP, and the “El Cubo” collective in Huancayo, Peru. The event features keynote speaker Jan Gehl, one of the most influential figures in global urbanism. Through his work, he has championed the sustainability of major metropolises and made it his mission to advocate for urban planning that allows people, rather than automobiles, to reclaim the streets.
To what extent can the design and management of cities shape the lives of their inhabitants? This is the question we aim to answer through our first Conscious Monterrey Festival. With the participation of our guests, Monterrey will share efforts already underway, as well as ideas regarding urban matters. From the conservation and identity of built heritage to new policies and visions for the city of the future, we will cover citizen participation, the use of technology, and art with a social perspective.
