Martín Alesina
Martín Alesina is a researcher and urban planner who has been actively involved in discussions regarding urban mobility and development in Montevideo, Uruguay. In a recent presentation, Alesina highlighted concerns about the city's urban expansion and the inefficiencies caused by the current mobility project proposed by the government. He argues that the project should not encourage further suburban sprawl, as it exacerbates issues such as traffic congestion and the deterioration of central areas. Alesina advocates for focused investments in the city's core to promote density and accessibility, emphasizing the need for policies that redirect housing incentives toward central neighborhoods rather than the periphery.
