About the SymposiumAt MIT’s Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism, we collaborate with cities to improve quality of life through design, urban planning, and architecture projects. This symposium will showcase our long-standing collaboration with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the government of Mexico City, Mota-Engil México, and local leaders, which has resulted in a portfolio of initiatives to drive energy transition in Mexico City.

Our collaboration understands energy transition not only as a technological challenge but also as an opportunity to rethink how the city produces, consumes, and distributes energy, linking it to housing, industrial, and waste management policies.

The symposium will bring together academics from MIT and UNAM to share their research findings and paths forward. This includes projects that focus on the decarbonization of the Vallejo industrial district and the Daniel Garza neighborhood as well as alternative uses for the gases captured at Bordo Poniente.

We hope that industry leaders, local researchers, public officials, and members of civil society will join us to engage in a dialogue on the future of energy in CDMX and how these projects can be part of this future.
