Huge thanks to @BloombergDotOrg for the invitation and for fostering these important conversations on the future of cities. Excited to see where we go next! #CityLabCDMX
Feeling inspired and energized after attending @BloombergDotOrg#CityLab in my hometown, Mexico City! It was an honor to be among hundreds of mayors and global experts in urban affairs. This megalopolis is thriving with innovation, and I’m proud to be part of the journey! 🇲🇽🌆
As @MikeBloomberg put it: "For every story about polarization and national government dysfunction, there is one about mayors getting things done." 💪 Mayors aren't elected to play it safe—they are the first line of response to residents' needs

Sheinbaum made CDMX the global digital & urban tech pacesetter. Our President-elect can now elevate these wins nationwide, if she focuses on radical digital transformation and settles for nothing less, as she did for the city.

Tech can reshape the urban experience, and foster healthier social interactions. These communities experimenting with #DTPR are laying the foundation for community-based deployment of tech in the public realm.
I'm thrilled to announce @KnightFdn's investment in @HelpfulPlaces! Building trust around how tech is deployed public places is crucial for community empowerment. 🏙️
The trajectory of the Web 2.0 era was not inevitable — it was instead shaped by a broad range of policy choices. And we now face another moment of choice.
