Behind The Scenes

Short description:

Hola! I’m Miguel Mendoza, an architect and urban activist who strongly believes in the power of community to transform cities. I’m a native of the border city of Juarez, Mexico and have honed my identity through the multiculturalism of two countries. I believe in the empowerment of the community to influence the transformation of cities and public life. As a placemaker my focus is on the creation of dignified public spaces designed for the human scale, inclusion and the right to the city.

“After the first waves of COVID-19, we observed how public spaces (streets, squares, parks) in various cities around the world began to become allies for both economic and sociocultural reactivation. From spaces for outdoor commerce to places of physical activity and recreation, of course, prioritizing the new rules of the game: social distancing, face masks and constant sanitization.” Miguel Mendoza and Nómada Estudio Urbano uses placemaking and a participatory approach to reactivate public space.

“At the end of 2020, the "Cultural Streets" project was created. The main objective was to contribute to the urban recovery of the city and the gradual reactivation of public life in the historic center of Juarez, using open space, urban art and tactical urbanism as allies.” Miguel Mendoza tells the story of how Mexican Juarez is finding its way to a more rooted way of living.
