What research was conducted by our Monterrey team?

Monterrey recently earned the title of a ‘Resilient City,’ prompting the creation of a Resilience Plan. As members of ResilientSEE Mexico, we seized this opportunity and launched a parallel project, “Collective Voice,” with a focus on community involvement. This initiative prioritizes gathering community opinions, making data collection and analysis straightforward through a tailored classification method. Positive outcomes in the field lead to the documentation and sharing of methodologies for broader use. Not only does this approach quantify community input, but it also ensures that it can be scaled up and replicated, improving decision-making processes. Rooted in established methods and experience, this framework encourages community participation and ownership, fostering inclusivity in urban resilience efforts.
