Parque Tecnológico
All over the world, cities and major universities are collaborating to create new economies and regenerate society. The landscape master plan for Parque Tecnológico in Monterrey, Mexico, is a shining example of how institutional investment in the surrounding community will benefit both the city and the university. The park is located within Distrito Tecnológico near the Technológico de Monterrey (Monterrey Tec) campus. The district has undergone recent demographic shifts, experiencing population loss and disinvestment. The park mirrors this cycle of disinvestment, lacking sufficient tree canopies, amenities, and maintenance. A recent survey by Monterrey Tec demonstrated that students, faculty, and staff consider the park and surrounding streets to be unsafe. Yet, despite negative perceptions and recent neglect, the Parque Tecnologico has the opportunity to be a catalyst for community revitalization. The master plan re-imagines the Parque Tecnológico as a vital place for both the campus and city communities—both an engine of change, and a symbol of reinvestment.
