Empowering communities

to become agents of change and transform their environments

We are a Mexican organization with national presence, driving 19 projects in social housing units that impact nearly half a million people

Our work is rooted in community participation. We believe solutions should be co-created, not imposed, with the people who know their realities best having both the right and the ability to shape the projects that impact them.

In Mexico, factors such as land privatization, 20th-century industrialization, and a lack of long-term urban planning have accelerated uncontrolled urban growth over the last two decades.

Haciendo Comunidad
An innovative vision for urban development
Accessible, inclusive, sustainable, and safe public spaces are crucial for promoting social cohesion and driving lasting transformation. These spaces foster social interaction, strengthen support networks and empower communities to take charge of their environment. For this reason, we co-design and co-create environmentally focused public spaces with the community.
