MexicoDesignNet was an urban development project in which universities from all over the world participated. The Istituto Europeo di Design organized, in collaboration with Universidad Anáhuac, the event Mexico Design Net: Experience the City, celebrated in the Historic Center of Mexico City and other venues. In the edition celebrated in Mexico, 650 students from different design disciplines had the opportunity to improve the lives of the citizens of Mexico City by improving the designs of current urban services and products or by developing new ones.
