The Urban Resilience to Extremes Sustainability Research Network (UREx SRN) co-developed six scenarios representing visions of a safe, sustainable, and equitable Hermosillo capable of handling the climate extremes of a desert city in 2080. Over 60 policy-makers, civic and community leaders, and academics gathered to identify common goals for the future, as well as the strategies and objectives necessary to implement the changes envisioned. Synthetic outputs included future land use modeling, renderings, narratives, and qualitative resilience assessment. The models were presented in a second workshop for participants to refine strategies and facilitate new ideas for promoting sustainability and resilience in Hermosillo.
Hermosillo urban development plan was updated to incorporate heat and flooding vulnerability maps developed by the UREx team. The municipal planning agency updated the flooding and heat waves vulnerability analysis using findings and continued generating heat prevention campaigns which included additional shelters and assessments of the urban transit system users.
The scenarios were made in: 2017
The scenarios look out to: 2080
