This map identified the most crucial natural aspects to take into account in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey

ABSTRACT
The lineal park proposal arises from the need to intervene in the forgotten built environment to provide spaces that protect and promote mental health in the face of the growing prevalence of the professional burnout syndrome This condition is caused by prolonged stress due to emotional and interpersonal factors in the workplace. Some of the causes include long working hours, excessive workload, a hostile work environment, and an imbalance between work, social, and family life. The design premises are oriented towards creating creative spaces that foster imaginability and generate memorable experiences Similarly, the goal is to promote social interaction and introspection as an escape from work life This is achieved through a diversity of spaces that encourage the use of public spaces at different times of the day, catering to different users and their needs

ABSTRACT
The objective of this project was to make visible, complement, and delve deeper into the winning solutions of the Participatory Budget proposed by one of the neighbors in the area In this specific case, the historical context and the community's memory were crucial. In the 1960s, the market in the area called Penny Riel was a regional landmark In the early 2000s, the elevated metro was an imposed and poorly executed project that resulted in the invisibility of the market, businesses, and society a loss of presence and forgetting of the city The fundamental questions were: How can infrastructure enhance the iconic activities of the place?

ABSTRACT
What is quality of life? Guillermo Westreicher explains that it is a set of factors that contribute to a person's well-being The factors that can define it are based on physical, material, social, and emotional well-being.
Our challenge is to conduct a diagnosis of the Fuentes del Valle neighborhood to create proposals that promote the quality of life of the individuals involved in the area, based on resilient aspects. As a motivation for our work, we want (from our discipline) to contribute knowledge to boost current urban and social capacity. We consider it essential to adapt to the trends and pressures in the area to maintain and enhance the quality of the zone From our point of view, the neighborhood possesses many positive qualities; however, it is necessary to implement actions that safeguard a more sustainable future

Mapping of actors
Technique that seeks to identify key actors in a system and allows for the analysis of their interests, importance, and influence on the outcomes of an intervention
Sensory analysis
3 routes and 17 reference points were proposed to carry the analysis We determined three main categories (Smell, Hearing, and Sensation), from which different indicators were derived. During a site visit and after analyzing each location, we assigned a rating to the various indicators using a Likert scale, with values ranging from 1 to 5, where 1 is very poor and 5 is excellent Finally, a sensory survey was conducted with a group of 21 residents from the neighborhood to observe their individual perceptions and to compare between the residents and external individuals

The smells were resized based on their intensity of odor Similarly, sounds changed in size depending on their perceived intensity Sensations have different sizes, shapes, and color organization, which depend on the score in each of the evaluated categories
The colors used to represent smells, sounds, and sensations arise from a survey conducted among the students to analyze and understand with which color they associate each one
