In Latin America and the Caribbean, emerging cities have taken center stage. While megacities face great challenges to distribute goods and services to large populations, intermediate cities provide a more sustainable alternative. Planning for their growth is one of the goals of the Emerging and Sustainable Cities (ESC) program at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), which has supported more than 80 intermediate urban areas throughout the region.<\/p>\n<p>Hermosillo is the capital of the border state of Sonora. Located 280 km south of the U.S. border, Hermosillo has historically been influenced by bigger cities located in its northern neighbor, especially by Phoenix and Tucson. With 850,000 inhabitants, Hermosillo is not only the capital, but also the largest city\u2014in demographic terms\u2014of the state. It limits to the West with the Gulf of California and to the South with the Guaymas municipality, one of Mexico\u2019s main ports in the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/hermosillo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"719\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2325\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/hermosillo-1024x767.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/hermosillo-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/hermosillo-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/hermosillo-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/hermosillo-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/hermosillo-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/hermosillo.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aerial view of Hermosillo and the Cerro de la Campana (Bell Hill), a prominent feature of the city\u2019s landscape.

Thanks to the work of its people and the strategic vision of its governors, the city has been able to position itself among the most prosperous cities in Mexico. The capital of Sonora is proud of its history, its culture and its entrepreneurial drive, which are present in its long agricultural tradition and its modern industrial sector. The city has repeatedly demonstrated a great capacity to leverage the competitive advantages of its territory and its strategic location as a connector between Mexico and the U.S. to promote its economic development and its wellbeing. In 2016, it was the seventh most competitive city in Mexico according to the Mexican Competitiveness Institute.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2330\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2330\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/downtown.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"639\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2330\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/downtown-1024x682.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/downtown-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/downtown-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/downtown-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/downtown-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/downtown-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/downtown.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hermosillo at a human scale. Photo: IDB<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After more than three decades of unprecedented economic growth, Hermosillo was within the 5% of the most prosperous municipalities in Mexico (Center for International Development, 2017). Today, the city\u2019s income per capita is almost five times higher than the poorest municipalities in the nation, and comparable to the GDP per capita of members of the OECD such as the Czech Republic, Estonia and Greece. Hermosillo\u2019s great economic dynamism has led to great improvements in the quality of life of its people and of Sonorenses in general.<br \/>\nDespite all these virtues, Hermosillo is facing a series of challenges that are common to many other intermediate cities in the region: the rapid expansion of its urban footprint, a great dependency on private vehicles, decreasing access to water, and a declining historic center. Additionally, encouraged by the establishment of a Ford assembly plant in the 1980s, Hermosillo left behind its agriculture legacy and focused in manufacture. As a result, its economy is now losing its dynamism, signaling that it is time to diversify its sources of knowledge and production.<\/p>\n<p>In order to promote its assets\u2014both cultural and natural\u2014and to change the city\u2019s development model, in 2017 began a collaboration project between the IDB, the North American Development Bank (NADBank) and Harvard University to rethink the future of this Mexican city. This collaboration consisted in a series of studies and academic activities that made Hermosillo a pilot for multi-sectoral experimentation, in fields ranging from urban planning, local economic development, urban ecology and public policy.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the ESC Program\u2019s methodology, this collaboration began with a series of baseline studies\u2014urban growth, climate change, risk and vulnerability\u2014and by gathering data on fiscal, environmental and urban indicators to provide a complete diagnosis of the city\u2019s situation. Based on this data, a group of Latin American students from the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) developed Rethinking Hermosillo, a report that gathers information on the city\u2019s growth patterns and visualizes long-term opportunities to reconfigure its development model. In parallel, a group of experts from the Kennedy School\u2019s Center for International Development (CID) also looked at Hermosillo as a pilot to test two of its methodologies at a local level\u2014the Growth Diagnosis and the Economic Complexity Analysis\u2014and determine the reasons why this city\u2019s economy has stopped growing.<\/p>\n<p>Following these efforts, between September and December 2017 professors Diane E. Davis (GSD) and Felipe Vera (IDB) taught Planning and Design Visions for Hermosillo\u2014a project-based class where 12 students had the opportunity to explore Hermosillo for a week and hold meetings with the Mayor and key stakeholders to gain a deep understanding of its main challenges and opportunities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2335\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2335\" style=\"width: 719px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/desert.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"719\" height=\"959\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2335\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/desert.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/desert.jpg 719w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/desert-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/desert-500x667.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2335\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harvard GSD students with Diane E.

Each proposal was focused on a different site and had a different impact on the city\u2019s natural and built environment. Along with the studies and multi-sectoral analysis carried out by Harvard experts and IDB specialists, these proposals paved the way for a comprehensive Action Plan for the city titled \u201cHermosillo at a Human Scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Closing the Gap between Research and Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After months of study and analysis, we are now happy to announce the product of this collaboration between Harvard and the IDB: \u201cCity Design, Planning and Policy Innovations: The Case of Hermosillo\u201d an upcoming publication that summarizes the lessons learned throughout this process. Thanks to the support of more than 40 experts, the book presents a relevant collection of public policy recommendations, programs and projects with the potential of transforming the future of this emerging city.<\/p>\n<p>On December 4, 2018, a group of these experts led by Diane E. Davis and Felipe Vera presented the publication to C\u00e9lida L\u00f3pez, the current mayor of Hermosillo, and other local and federal authorities in an event and panel discussion that took place in Mexico City. The goal of the event was to discuss ways to strengthen collaboration between governments, development agencies and the academia, and gathered representatives from Harvard University, the IDB, GIZ, local universities like UNAM and renowned Mexican architects and practitioners.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2352\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2352\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/photo-and-cover-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" class=\"wp-image-2352 size-large\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/photo-and-cover-1-1024x576.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/photo-and-cover-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/photo-and-cover-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/photo-and-cover-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/photo-and-cover-1-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/photo-and-cover-1-500x281.png 500w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/mci\/files\/2019\/01\/photo-and-cover-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left: Diane E.
