The Mexican design studio La Metropolitana produces high-end wood furniture for the interior of award-winning design hotels, restaurants, and retail stores. But this episode is not so much about their products but rather about how design can be used as a tool to tackle social issues.
La Metropolitana addresses the challenges that occur when people from disinvested rural areas migrate to urban centers like Mexico City in search of a better quality of life. Men like the 80 employees of La Metropolitana who now work as carpenters in the in-house workshop. In this episode, La Metropolitana will introduce a promising pilot workshop they established in a small mountain town 300 kilometers from Mexico City to invest directly into rural communities. Additionally, we will learn about the origins of rural poverty and internal migration in Mexico through Fernando Riosmena, Associate Professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who specializes in spatial mobility.
