Reflection

Monterrey, Mexico 2021

In this deeply personal piece, architect and Mexican architectural history researcher Juan Manuel Casas García reflects on internal displacement and migration in Mexico driven largely by narco-violence, as well as migration to and integration within Mexican cities by those originating from outside of Mexico. His observations are rooted in Monterrey’s urban spaces and architecture, as well as his own upbringing in Mexico City and experience living in Monterrey.
