Key themes:

Connectivity - How do issues of access augment systems of inequality. How can we connect communities to create more diversity and better understanding of one another's needs, hopes, and dreams for Mexico?

Gender Issues and Women's Empowerment - How do issues of gender inequality effect people in low income and informal communities. How can women be empowered to become active members of their community, have income, and have support for issues when they arise?

Education - What solutions can we provide in in formal communities to provide better education and also to promote the value of education. What alternative 'schools' and learning experiences can be offered?

Mobility - What mobility solutions can we offer to give people from informal communities better access to jobs, commerce, and exploration?

Open Space - What do open spaces offer a community? If informal communities do not have open communal space what are they lacking? What spaces can be proposed and developed to improve quality of life?
