Near the industrial zone of Jiutepec, Morelos, in an area that was once practically abandoned, stands the impressive CIVAC Linear Park The municipality of Juitepec belongs to the Cuernavaca metropolitan area but has somehow preserved part of its rich historical and cultural identity It became particularly significant in the 1960s when it built one of the most organized industrial parks in Mexico known as the Cuernavaca Valley Industrial City (CIVAC) which also became a residential neighborhood inside Jiutepec residential areas of the CIVAC neighborhood near the industrial park turned abandoned and were perceived by residents as dark had turned the abandoned area into an informal skate park Revitalization came with the creation of the CIVAC Linear Park The project was initiated in 2021 as part of the Urban Improvement Program (PMU 2021) of the Ministry of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (SEDATU), which focuses on urban reconstruction in vulnerable areas. The design was created by the renowned Mexican architect Rozana Montiel Saucedo the linear park connects two neighborhoods and serves as an integrated green space for government offices community services and resident learning and recreation CIVAC Linear Park was conceived to renovate vulnerable urban areas while fostering a sense of belonging and community pride honoring the area’s existing natural spaces and so one of the project’s main goals was to minimize the concrete footprint and adapt the design to the natural environment The result features intriguing paths shaded by original trees achieving a unique balance between landscape the park’s civic center — home to government offices and a wide range of municipal social and community services — was fragmented to fit into the clearings between endemic trees over 50 years old using porches and platforms of Texcal stone and sand-colored pigmented concrete terraces and galleries connect the buildings with courtyards harmonizing them with the natural environment “We found a large number of endemic trees in the area that were over 50 years old The challenge was to incorporate all the existing trees into the design,” the project description explains the linear park is a continuous pathway that respects the existing vegetation while expanding in certain areas to incorporate sports facilities and playgrounds and reclaim previously hostile spaces It culminates in a multipurpose circular forum built with Texcal stone steps The fountain’s seasonal activation as a public pool has stimulated local commerce revitalized the surrounding area and provided a recreation alternative on the hottest days The CIVAC Linear Park has become a popular meeting place in Morelos thanks to the civic complex containing spaces for a ceremonial hall speech therapy and psychological care workshops and a children’s playground The civic center includes a public library residents use a purpose-built skate park for either practicing their skate moves or BMX freestyle cycling the primarily wooden design is aesthetically pleasing featuring an entrance filled with natural light The structure also utilizes sand-colored pigmented concrete creating a serene atmosphere and serving as a gateway to culture for visitors The skate park was built with sand-colored pigmented concrete and Squares category at the Biennial XVIII 2024 Additionally, it has been nominated for the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize at the Illinois Institute of Technology a biennial established to honor excellence in built works of architecture across the Americas But perhaps one of the greatest things about the CIVAC Linear Park is how it seamlessly integrates governmental administrative offices with the life of the surrounding community It serves as a connector for mobility in the city while creating a green oasis that respects and enhances the native environment It is truly a source of life in numerous ways Ana Paula de la Torre is a Mexican journalist and collaborator for various outlets including Milenio ADVERTISE WITH MND COMMUNITY GUIDELINES Subscription FAQ's Privacy Policy Mexico News Daily -

The order covers goods from China and Hong Kong and will take effect on May 2 which said the move was intended to curb the flow of fentanyl into the U.S Chinese chemical makers are the top suppliers of raw materials purchased by Mexico's cartels to produce the deadly drug A Reuters investigation last year showed how traffickers often route these chemicals through the United States by exploiting the de minimis rule Trump is also planning other tariffs targeting semiconductors Trump's barrage of penalties has rattled financial markets and businesses that have relied on trading arrangements that have been in place since the middle of last century the administration said a separate set of tariffs on auto imports that Trump announced last week will take effect starting on Thursday Trump previously imposed 25% duties on steel and aluminum and extended them to nearly $150 billion worth of downstream products Tariff concerns have already slowed manufacturing activity across the globe while also spurring sales of autos and other imported products as consumers rush to make purchases before prices rise saying a trade war would hurt consumers and benefit neither side "We will do everything we can to work towards an agreement with the United States with the goal of avoiding a trade war that would inevitably weaken the West in favor of other global players," Italy's prime minister the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee said he would introduce legislation to end the tariffs Such a bill has little chance of passing the Republican-controlled Congress
