BI-NATIONAL CITY

ernando Romero is a Mexican architect and founder of ‘FR-EE’ (Fernando Romero Enterprise). Romero has long envisioned a bi-national city instead of erecting a wall between two strong mutually dependent economies. He envisions a Border City lying between Texas/New Mexico and Chihuahua, borrowing positive

economic principles from the strong economic relationship between El Paso-Juárez but not limiting the potential of the city to currency exchange rates and mobility restrictions on studying/working on the other side of the border. Such project was presented at the London Design Biennale in 20161.
