ARAVENTO is a sustainable urban planning and design project that, from Tepatitlán de Morelos, rethinking the way we live, move around, and connect with the city. Based on the “15-minute city” concept, it promotes functional proximity, local identity, and inclusion. Green corridors with native vegetation connect microparks and a large urban park to the city, ensuring 2.5 trees per every 3 inhabitants. With mixed uses, multifunctional public space, and active mobility, it counters urban segregation and builds a resilient, green, and deeply human city.
ARAVENTO – Urban planning and design for a living city
ARAVENTO is a comprehensive urban planning and design proposal that reimagines how we inhabit, move, and connect within the contemporary city. Rooted in the territorial and cultural context of Tepatitlán de Morelos, the project proposes a resilient, inclusive, and deeply human urban fabric, shaped by environmental sustainability, functional proximity, and local identity.
The conceptual foundation embraces the principles of the 15-minute city, carefully adapted to the local geography and social dynamics. ARAVENTO envisions a balanced urban structure where housing, work, services, leisure, and nature coexist in close proximity, promoting sustainable and active mobility. Pedestrian movement, cycling, and public transportation are prioritized through a connected, accessible, and safe mobility network.
The proposal advocates for mixed-use urban design, activating the city throughout the day, encouraging social diversity, and stimulating local economic dynamics. This programmatic blend is reinforced by a robust green infrastructure: linear parks, ecological corridors, and pocket parks form an interconnected public space system, ensuring 2.5 trees per every 3 inhabitants. These green strategies directly support public health, urban biodiversity, and climate resilience.
ARAVENTO recognizes the multifunctional public space as a catalyst for encounter, culture, and cohesion. Each intervention becomes a space for play, rest, social interaction, and community expression. The historical and cultural identity of Tepatitlán is woven into the design, strengthening collective memory and belonging.
Together, these strategies lead to the revitalization of urban natural spaces, linking ecological resilience with the everyday experience of urban life. The result is a human-centered, inclusive, and future-oriented environment—where sustainability, well-being, and connection form the foundations of a renewed urban model.
