Update: The event has been postponed to September 5-7, 2020 due to Covid-19. MEXTRÓPOLI is an international architecture and city festival that opens only four days a year to live through architecture an extraordinary city.

This year's MEXTRÓPOLI 2020 will be held under the theme of "(Un)Sustainable City" on September 5–7, 2020 in Mexico city. The 7th edition of the Festival of Architecture and City will address an unavoidable issue on the urban planning and architecture agenda: the climate crisis.

"If a few years ago we asked ourselves in MEXTRÓPOLI about the possibilities of the future, today it seems that the question is reduced to the possibility of any future. It seems alarmist, maybe it is. But we must not forget that behind the I want you to panic of Greta Thurnberg there is still a call of hope: I want you to act," said the organisers of the festival.

The festival will host temporary pavilions in the Alameda Central public urban park, along with the Mextrópoli 2020 Pavilion, after the Arquine Contest No. 22 this year won by the studio Lemonot with Federico Fauli.

The Pritzker Prize 2012 winner Wang Shu, Amateur Architecture Studio, Moshe Safdie, Mexican architect Frida Escobedo, Manuela Carmena, former mayor of Madrid in the period from 2015 to 2019, are among guests for the 7th annual MEXTRÓPOLI.
