The Urban95 Academy, a leadership programme for local governments about improving cities for babies, toddlers and their caregivers, is launching a new regional programme in Latin America.
The regional expansion of the Urban95 Academy into Latin America will provide more local governments the ability to build capacity around inclusive, sustainable, child-friendly urban design. It will also create more opportunities to share knowledge, and collaborate with other cities around the priorities of creating urban spaces where young children and their caregivers can thrive.
This ground-breaking new Latin America programme is possible through a collaboration between Tecnológico de Monterrey, a leading academic institution in Mexico and philanthropic partner Fundacion FEMSA, whose mission is to cultivate prosperity for current and future generations in Latin America.
Together with LSE Cities and the Van Leer Foundation, the four institutions will be able to provide a tailored experience for Latin American municipalities with course content offered in Spanish, region-specific case studies, faculty and knowledge partners.
