MEXTRÓPOLI 2019: Where the city ends

From March 9 to 12, MEXTRÓPOLI Festival of Architecture and City celebrates its sixth edition.

MEXTRÓPOLI is a ludic and reflexive event that puts the voices of architects, town planners and authorities at the public's reach to generate knowledge about the city we inhabit. The occupation of public space with pavilions, the panel discussions that involve the most prominent actors in issues such as urbanism and public policy, as well as a strong selection of speakers draw a program that seeks to include citizens in all their meanings: students, activists, urban planners and architects are welcome to experience the extraordinary city.

"MEXTRÓPOLI is a festival that takes the city as a stage, it celebrates it. It meets the objectives of expanding the cultural and civic use of public space. It encourages the community to exercise its creative, critical and participative capacity, from the generation of knowledge and interaction through unique experiences. A great urban event turns the city into a new scenario, which makes those who inhabit it be given the freedom to appreciate it in a different way, inviting them to re-know, in a special way, the virtues and deficiencies of those spaces where it transits your daily life." –Andrea Griborio, Director of MEXTRÓPOLI

For its sixth edition, the MEXTRÓPOLI Architecture and City Festival will propose thinking of the city as an open territory that is continually redefining its limits.
