This image is from Queretaro in Mexico, since a few years ago Queretaro is growing it is very close to Mexico city but is completely different in climate, Queretaro has a very warm weather and is dry Mexico city is almost the oposit, many companies have changed here, life is more calm and is full of good services, there are many suburbs that have houses like this one giving to architecture a lot of oportunities, as I mensioned it is very hot the sun burns and is dry, people don't walk too much they use the car, the sidewalk is almost unexistent and green areas are still in the growing process, in general is a very clean town. Many people is moving every day to live here there are a lot of oportunities of work, school and livability is very good here but a mistake they are making is creating suburbs imitating the ones of USA where sidewalks does not exist and the priority is for the car, it is important to create areas where people feel comfortable to interact and socialice with the neighboors there are green areas but it is hard for people to go there because of the hot days and the sun so people look to go to closed areas like shopping malls like Antea that is an open shoping mall that makes it very confortable but at the same time is a big space where close social interaction is not easy for the nature of the building, the use of bicycles is very low but it can increase.
