The 2018 International Housing Finance Summit, organized by INFONAVIT, brought together experts from various disciplines to discuss the future of cities and the lessons learned to date. Held on May 2 and 3 at the Camino Real Polanco, the event hosted prominent figures who examined urban transformation processes to evaluate models that could guide us toward an integrated urban plan.

The event featured the participation of Al Borde, a firm that has materialized its ideas across various Latin American countries, earning numerous awards and accolades. In 2016, they served on the nominating committee for the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP) and were part of the official selection at the Venice Biennale, which was themed 'Reporting from the Front.' Currently, they are among the winners of the "Young Architects in Latin America" competition, a collateral event of the 16th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale.
