Arnulfo Aldaco participates as a guest panelist on Sótanos, Canal 44’s flagship public affairs program, discussing the mobility crisis of Avenida López Mateos in Guadalajara.
In the conversation, he argues that congestion is not a traffic engineering problem but the outcome of decades of car-dependent urban growth, fragmented planning, and weak metropolitan coordination. He critiques elevated highways and road widening as ineffective solutions, advocating instead for high-capacity public transit, institutional reform, and long-term metropolitan planning.
