Short description

Arnulfo Aldaco participated as a speaker at the Metropolitan Forum: Challenges and Solutions for Mobility on López Mateos, an academic event hosted by CUCEA (University of Guadalajara). His presentation examined how congestion on López Mateos is not a traffic problem but a structural outcome of car-dependent urban expansion, weak territorial planning, and short-term decision-making.

Key idea

Mobility should be measured by how many people reach their destinations—not by how many cars are moved, requiring institutionalized, long-term planning centered on public transit, equity, and territorial order.
