Back to the Future: Re-Envisioning Oaxaca's Historic Streets for Multimodal Urban Mobility
Location: Room - Emerald III
Our session spotlights two ongoing projects in collaboration with the IDB to incentivise active mobility and improve walking corridors in the historic centre of Oaxaca, Mexico. Focused on pedestrianisation and biking and micromobility systems, the session will highlight solutions addressing the challenges posed by rapid urbanisation. Led by a multidisciplinary Latin American team including architecture, urban planning, public policy, and sustainability, this session promises to showcase strategies, tangible outcomes, and valuable insights from ‘global south’ interventions. Furthermore, we will dissect the critical role of participatory design, knowledge transferability, and the integration of emerging technologies in shaping Oaxaca's future urban landscape.
