Urban Planning and Place Strategy

Mayra Madriz

Leveraging two decades of experience at the forefront of urban planning and green design to deliver inclusive neighborhoods that honor natural systems. I partner with forward-thinking entrepreneurs, designers, engineers, and community organizers to deliver exceptional urban projects in Latin America.

The Ecology of Place

Successful projects require recognizing each of the layers that make a great place. Much like in a healthy ecosystem, the layers interact, and when adequately balanced, they can help sustain quality and value over time. 

Natural Systems. Cultural Heritage

Service Infrastructure. Activity Program

Urban Design. Norms and Governance

I strive to make these dimensions visible during the planning and delivery process, complementing my own expertise with a network of pragmatic experts grounded in the Latin American context.
