Exploring WRI Ross Center’s experience in Mexico city: a deep city-level engagement approach
2023
Author(s): World Resources Institute
This practice note discusses WRI’s experience working in Mexico City to understand the results of its deep engagement work in the city, starting as the Center for Sustainable Transportation (Centro de Transporte Sustentable) in 2002, and its evolution to CTS-EMBARQ in 2011 and WRI Mexico in 2016. It discusses Metrobús as a catalytic project, institutional changes to build on the understanding, relationships and trust established in that project, and resulting city-level transformative change.
