The School of Architecture of Universidad Panamericana campus Bonaterra in Aguascalientes, México in combination with the Urban Land Institute offered this important event as an open forum for specialist and interested people to discuss the main topics regarding good practices in decarbonization.

The day began with a visit to the Continental Factory in Aguascalientes City, a great example of leadership to improve our relation with nature. Continental is a German company, which has around 220 installations in México and 565 worldwide, all of them taking into account environmental issues.
