DISTRITO TEC URBAN PLANNING + URBAN DESIGN + TRNSPORTATION SIG ANALYSIS + POPULATION ANALYSIS growing with no control, creating a dense path of horizontal distribution that seems not to finish. nowadays has no ability to fullfill. Tranportiation, security and local and social fragmentation are some of the consequences which eventually will get worse. Thus the existance of an urban plan for grwoth and development of the city, rules have not been followed nor applied; now, one of the most concurrent urban nodes of the almost 700,000 ha of city is suffering this devastation.
Urban expantion of Monterrey - ITESM in blue 1940/1960/1980/2007
In response to this situation ITESM in collaboration with the School of Architecture, Arts and Design, stablished a plan to generate an urban regeneration for the south part of Monterrey. As a result, it was ellaborated a Master Plan not only for urban development but for actions to revialize 11 communities that were left in between margination and technology. Distrito Tec stablishes the idiological and strategic plan of urban and social action to restructure ITESM and the zone that encloses it.

METRO LINE MARGINALIZED ZONES RIVER SANTA CATARINA
URBAN MARGINALIZATION + TRANSPORTATIO POLICIES Politics in Monterrey had lead in several issues that have affected urban organization. From security to mobility, the city has been affected by the dense urban expantion. MARGINATION and SEGREGATION is a present element in between communities. As it could be expected in a normal urban configuration to have marginalized areas in the perimeter, in Monterrey big paths of them are spread all allong the centers of the 8 municipalities of the Metropolitan Zone. However, the problematic goes beyond, as these are product of transportation problems, lack of services, insecurity and horizontal densification.
189 BUS LINES IN THE SAME DIRECTION PER DAY
DISTRITO TEC
While already Monterrey lacks of a proper metropolitan system of public transport, the minimum facilities it has (Metrorrey - Metroline / Ecovia) are incorrectly planned: A longitudinal connection along W-E goes throug the city (LINE 1) from DVSVTOSFDVSDF. LINE 2 goes N-S, but finishes in the middle of LINE 2. There exist no TRANSVERSAL CONNECTION with south part of Monterrey (Distrito TEC) AVENIDA EUGENIO GARZA SADA: Bein one of the most congested streets in Mexico, has a complete 2 hour peak traffic daily in the section in front of ITESM

Among the problematics found in the Disctirct, transportation figures as the biggest, since it brings an artificial configuration that affects directly not only the polygon of study but the hole city. By far, Avenida Eugenio Garza Sada needs to be replanned with a better public transport city and more pedestrian zones. Marginalization is next in line, as we security is in part a product of the first and the second. Therefore, a plan to open the doorsof one of the most secures zones in Monterrey, the Campus of ITESM, will help to erradicate segregation in the 11 communities that enclose it.

ECOVA urban planning + urban degisn sig analysis + population analysis + community programs for development
social and familiar development is subject of other factors such as economic development, lack of services and unmeasured urban growth. ECOVA (Space for the conservation of water and life) is a proposal that pretends to recover urban spaces by making punctual and direct interventions in key elements of the environment. The main intention is to promote social and economic development for the families of the community and at the same time bringing them quality urban spaces. The urban configuration of the community has enclosed a fountainhead in its midpoint. Because of the high levels of pollution, not only the water quality but flora and fauna are in danger. Government has intended to establish the zone as a protected natural reservoir as a way to bring more protection for it, but lacks of an integral program for developing the zone. ECOVA is this integral proposal for retrieving its natural equilibrium and turning it into a new urban pole.

While men has always had an economic role in family, women usually stay at home taking care of the children. Giving housewife's and mothers an active role in the administration of the project would lead to an increasing development in family economy.

HYDROPONICS CULTIVATION A way to improve local economy is by implementing a hydroponics cultivation system. As mothers usually have no participation in the economic income and budget of the family, they wil be included in a program of cultivation, where water collected from rain and the fountainhead could be used for hydroponics growth.

MONTERREY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLANNING + URBAN DESIGN After Hurricane Alex destroyed 70% of the main transportation infrastructure of Monterrey, several plans for its development have been proposed. Monterrey 2030 tries to solve transportation problematic by implementing a new transportation configuration for the 1st historic district of the city: Center District.
LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION A NEW URBAN CONFIGURATION In this project, density and land use is understood as the result of transportation implementations. Giving different kinds of fluxes in streets and avenues brings also different kinds of activities: the reactivation of public spaces, commercial growth, industrial development, as well as the increment of security since expected fluxes also work at night.
santa catarina circuit Getting advantage of the natural configuration of the city, Santa Catarina River, the one that once flooded it, now is reused as a main connection in between north-suth and east-west of the city. It turns into the key element of the transportation plan

PAGOS DE HUERTA
water/land/culture PAGOS USED TO BE CONNECTED VIA WALK PATHS
RURAL PLANNING + PROGRAMS FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT + LANDSCAPING Economic development has lead to an increasing harsh harvest in Palma del overproduction, rural developments have started to fade as i is cheaper to sell lads and go living to urban centers. Not only population is fading but also an industrial and cultural heritage that used to rule this land. Old but important cultivation techniques are disappearing and what used to be a power plant for this villages is now in disuse as it not anymore competition to big companies
Path roads and flood studies were made to understand the natural essence of the land. The pagos were connected via walk paths and a system of Norias and boats were articulated to communicate via water.
NATURAL MARGINS OF FLOODINGS
Floodings were part of the natural cultivation system. Flooding zones were evcuated each year just before their arrival, and as soon as they finished, habitants returned to their homes.
ORANGE NATURALLY CULTIVATED
Natural configuration of landscape is endangered by the fast development industrial cultivation of orange has had in the Pagos. As seen in the maps, this type of cultivation is substituting traditional methods
Growth of industrial orange (1944/1956/1999/2009)
Natural plantations responded to natural floodings. Orange used to grow naturally in the margins of the river.

The old hydroelectric was chosen as the new center of organization for this rural people.
DUQUE Y FLORES
As part of the analysis, it was found that industrial components relying in the Pagos were left unused; on the other hand, several water roads that farmers used to use were damaged or severally destroyed. However, all this was useful without the help of the The whole project intends to fully recover these elements that not only represent history in this town, but give form to the particular landscape of the Pagos de Huerta.

WATER TREATMENT Policies suggest to leave 5 meters at least from the river to allow natural plants that grow in the boundries develop correctly to make their main function: cleaning the river
ARTIFICIAL PONDS Many of the rural houses now have piscine. Connecting them to the water system turns them into captation areas for when the flooding time arrives
NEW USAGE Public zones were implemented in abandoned rural zones, as visitors may come and rest in the boundaries of the river.
THE WELL Wells used to function as social center (the closest way to collect water). Now, using them as part of the system of pumping, its role in society will be retrieved.
WATER ROADS The main implementation is the connection of the river to the cultivation by the old water roads left years ago. This can lead the floods to the center of the Pagos. WATER ROADS REDRWAING THE LANDSCAPE

Headquarters of the new group of traditionatl production of orange will be settled in the old hydroelectric plant. Because of the location of the site, it will be also used as the entrance to the Pagos de Huerta. This center/museum will also retake its principal usage and will become a small dam that will allow production of energy, enough for the water pumping system for cultivation MAIN PLAN VIEW ACCESS POINT TO THE MUSEUM AND DAM +0.00
MAIN SECTION OF TE DAM EMPTY CHAMBERS FOR WATER UNDERGROUND
By breaking a part of the boundries with the river, the dam will be located in the maximum point of flooding of the basin. Several empty chambers underground will be used to contain water while flooding, and gates will be closed when the hydroelectric plant is in use.

We don't live anymore in cities with plenty and free spaces. While other means of communication are fairly being developed transportation faces the problematic of space. There is no more space for implementing new technologies. Cities grow and need a wider range of options to communicate from side to side, but for consolidated cities, like Mexico City, this seems to be a problem, since there is no more space to interact with new technologies.

MICROSTATIONS: these are micro-aiports in between free spaces of the city. Located near or inside the underground metro stations, people will be able to go directly to the nearest.
Planes will lead their way to the old airport via underground tunnels alongside metro tunnels. Planes will have several stops before being launched.
The old space for the aiport could be reused. In a city constant growth, this could represent a huge option for green areas or cultural events.
Airport lines are a very complex network underground, similar to metro lines.

THE AIRPORT AS A PUBLIC WAY OF TRANSPORT
Getting advantage of the Metro lines that already exist, the airport will be located under them, connected along with a network of Micro Stations that will be also useful for the Metro System. Making this combination will allow the airport to turn into a more public way of transport
