What have you accomplished so far and what are next steps?
Canal Nacional's Project is our laboratory for the development of water programs and projects with 200,000 people benefited; We have contributed so that the city government invests today for its improvement. Our main challenge in the short term, our work model is an example for other areas of Mexico City that also need to be preserved, and in the medium term, support other national and international urban environments with similar characteristics.
How do you make sure you are doing things right?
We have three strategic axes: Heritage and Environment, Heritage and Community, and Heritage Culture and Art. With this we establish the themes (such as in the case of the strategic axis Heritage Culture, Art, painting workshops, theater or traveling graphics). We establish quality indicators, impact indicators (number of scheduled workshops / number of workshops held x 100), and finally, the dates of completion.
What are the social and environmental commitments you adhere to?
Our projects are backed up by 15 years of continuous work in favor of the cultural-historical-environmental / water heritages of Mexico City, which have been awarded nationally and internationally such as the Charter Awards (Congress for the New Urbanism), 2019.
