III IBERO-AMERICAN MAYORS FORUM CITY OF MENDOZA
Welcome words As the Mayor of the city of Mendoza I want to give, on my behalf, a warm welcome to all our visitors and thank all of you for the honor of hosting the III Ibero-American Mayors Forum. I trust this forum will be an enriching experience and I hope this creates a space for co-working and knowledge-sharing to address the most important challenges of the cities in our regions. It is in the cities where future challenges will be defined. It is within the cities where the largest percentage of global wealth is produced, where most of the population is concentrated and where most of the economic activity takes place. However, it is also where we find the highest inequality and the largest ecological and environmental overflow. This situation requires an urgent political commitment, a call to open our eyes to a complex reality, where we have the obligation of turning our cities into a more humane space for us and our families. I am truly convinced that there is nothing more strategic, more necessary, and urgent than an unrestricted and seamless commitment to sustainable urban development to achieve social equality. With this paradigm and understanding, we have worked in the city that today shows us its largest Public Works Plan. This is why we have great satisfaction and pride to host this event. We hope that by the end of the forum we are left with richer minds, with fearless ways of thinking, and finally with a higher desire to transform our cities. As Mayor, I reiterate the warmest welcome to our city.
Rodolfo Suarez Mayor City of Mendoza

III IBERO-AMERICAN MAYORS FORUM THE VENUE
MENDOZA Founded in 1561 and located at the foot of the Andes Mountain Range. Together with the cities of Maipú, Luján de Cuyo, Las Heras, Godoy Cruz, Guaymallén, and General Lavalle it is the fourth largest conglomerate of the country, with a metropolitan area of more than 1 million inhabitants. Mendoza is a strategic point in the socioeconomic development of MERCOSUR and the direct link with Chile through the bi-oceanic corridor. It is recognized internationally as one of the 9 wine capitals of the world since its wine industry is the most important in the country. Even though, it is situated in an extremely dry desert region, Mendoza has an extensive artificial irrigation system, which allows for greenery throughout the city.
NAVE CULTURAL It is a multidisciplinary venue located near the center of the city of Mendoza. It is located in the heart of Parque Central, a modern green lung of 14ha, connected by the recently inaugurated Paseo di Benedetto. Its industrial architectural style emerged in 2009 from the enhancement and refurbishment of one of the warehouses of the San Martin General Railroad (FCGSM) that formed part of the Mendoza Central Station. It has a covered area of 2.200m2 divided into three large functional spaces to host cultural activities and events.

III IBERO-AMERICAN MAYORS FORUM
CITIES NETWORK OF THE IDB Subnational governments must face challenges in various areas, and the IDB has the technical capacity and multiple effective and innovative projects and programs to support the cities to be able to reach sustainability goals through the exchange and transfer of knowledge and good practices. For this reason, the Division of Housing and Urban Development of the IDB, has started a Sustainable Cities Network. The Cities Network started with the cities that form part of the Emerging and Sustainable Cities Initiative (ESCI) and it has been adding other cities that work in initiatives promoted or financed by the Bank. This Cities Network seeks to generate spaces for the Mayors and other decision makers to engage in knowledge and best practice exchange to address the main urbanization challenges in the region.
IBERO-AMERICAN MAYORS FORUM (IAMF) The IAMF started three years ago as a joint initiative between the Government of Spain, the Cities Network of the IDB, the city of Santander, the University of Cantabria (UC) and the International University Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP). The initiative was created with the objective of promoting experience exchanges between Ibero-American cities which share cultural and historic values and share common ideals about the quality of life for their inhabitants. The Forum focuses on the environmental, economic, and social development. To date, two forums have taken place, in 2015 and 2017, in the cities of Madrid and Santander, Spain. This is the third edition and the first forum to be taking place in Latin America and the Caribbean.
III IBERO-AMERICAN MAYORS FORUM COORDINATION FOR A SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT As a result of their dynamic nature and continuous growth, cities tend to surpass their administrative limits, absorbing areas that belong to other administrative jurisdictions and forming what is known as metropolitan areas. The management of metropolitan areas involves multiple challenges and opportunities that require a rethinking of the coordination and monitoring mechanisms, between different levels of governments (national, regional, local), as well as with the private sector, civil society, academia, and other stakeholders. Cities require a large-scale vision to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants, which must be built as a whole, independent of territorial political division or sectoral interests. In this edition the Forum’s main objective is to promote the debate around the challenges faced in the coordination of urban management and its multiple dimensions and scales. Likewise, it seeks to promote the exchange of good practices and lessons learned from different cities in Spain and Latin America and the Caribbean. We will receive Mayors from Spain, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as renowned international experts. The III Ibero-American Forum is organized by the Ministry of Interior, Public Works and Housing of the Republic of Argentina, the Ministry of Public Works of Spain, the Inter-American Development Bank and the Municipality of Mendoza, host of the event. Additional support was provided by the Province of Mendoza, the Council for Coordination of Socio-Environmental Municipal Public Policies for Greater Mendoza (UNICIPIO), the city of Santander, the University of Cantabria, and the Leornardo Torres Quevedo Foundation. On this occasion, the Forum takes place within the framework of the “59th Annual Meeting of the Boards of Governors of the IDB and IDB Invest.

Field Visit to Urban Infrastructure Improvements in Vulnerable Neighborhoods Organized by: Government of the City of Mendoza Departure 14:30 from the lobby at Sheraton Hotel Flores-Olivares. An informal settlement with more than 60 years of existence, where 480 families live with vulnerable access to basic services and community facilities. Since December 2016, through the National Habitat Plan, urbanization projects have taken place which seek to favor the access of the population to basic services, accompanied with social education, health, and sports programs. Also, a land ownership regularization program will be implemented, which will grant each neighbor the title of their property. Within this framework, a Nucleus of Innovation and Development of Opportunities is under construction. This is a space dedicated to labor reintegration, work with the community, and attention to early childhood activities. During the tour this will be one of the stops. La Favorita. An irregular human settlement located in the foothills of the city, made up of 38 neighborhoods where 3500 families live with a deficit in access to basic services. In this area, the Neighborhood Improvement Program (PROMEBA, with financial resources from the IDB), has financed the process of urbanization since 2004. Currently, the fourth phase of PROMEBA is in execution, and will benefit 700 families, which will formalize 45% of the total area. The project for the remaining area is in formulation and is expected to be financed with a new phase of PROMEBA. The resources of the program will be invested in public infrastructure, basic services (water, wastewater systems, electricity, and natural gas), storm drains, community equipment and mitigation work. Social support is also provided by the field teams and through the financing of community initiatives. The final aspect of the program is land ownership regularization, granting property titles to the beneficiaries. During the visit, the different stages of consolidation of PROMEBA, will be observed.

Lunch Venue: Nave La Báscula
Keynote speaker: Richard Florida
Creativity, Private Sector and Economic Dynamism Venue: Nave Cultural – Room 2 (auditorium) Presentation (45’). Followed by a dialogue with the audience (15’) Cities are at the very center of the many grand challenges we face—climate change, poverty, job creation, public health, sustainable energy, and inclusive development. Urbanization promises great thing they have the power to lift living standards, to create economic opportunity, to raise gross domestic product. But left to their own devices, they cannot deliver the goods. In his speech, world-renowned urbanist Richard Florida will outline how global cities are a significant dimension of the “New Urban Crisis.” The coming century will see the greatest wave of urbanization in human history as another 7 or 8 billion people—more than are on the face of the earth today move to cities, most of them in the poorest reaches of the developing world. More than 60 percent of the urban infrastructure that humans will need in the next half-century is yet to be built. Trillions upon trillions of dollars will be spent building new cities and retrofitting existing ones. Florida’s main message to cities and Mayors will be that we must put cities and sustainable urbanization and economic development at the very top of our agendas.

Coordination between national and municipal government
National Urban Infrastructure Policy in Argentina Presentation (15’) Dialogue with the Mayors (15’) Argentina, like Latin America, the most urban and unequal region of the world, has the challenge to build compact, resilient, inclusive, and safe cities that guarantee the economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Approximately 93% of the population lives in urban areas with a pattern of one economic center and low-density growth, leading to social and spatial fragmentation, between and within its cities. The Argentine Government, through the Ministry of Interior, Public Works, and Housing develops long term public policies, prioritizing investment over current expenditure. With the focus on cities, plans and programs are being executed to improve quality of life throughout the national territory, with urban planning and investment in infrastructure that promote urban sustainable development. The Neighborhood Improvement Program (PROMEBA), financed by the IDB for 20 years, inspired the state policy about urban infrastructure initiated by the National Government in December 2015, and carried out by the Ministry of Interior, Public Works and Housing. Its pillar is the understanding that neighborhoods only develop when they have a dialogue with the city and when the National Government is responsible of the urban development challenges.

Bodega Los Toneles was founded in 1922 by the Armando Family who pursued their dream with the classic, elegant charm of the belle époque style, with details of art nouveau ornaments, that give the building great beauty and personality. At the beginning it was called Armando Hermanos and became known as “Bodega de los Toneles” due to the impact caused by the huge French oak vases where they made their wine. Eighty years later, in 2002, the Bodega was bought by the Millán Family that rescued the old spirit but added modern technology and other details. Declared Cultural Heritage of Mendoza in 2008, this wonderful building houses historic pools next to modern tanks and hundreds of barrels that keep the great wines of the winery.
