By the year 2030, the 80 urban areas of Mexico are expected to add 10 million new houses and 415 million square meters of production area to support job growth.

Even though this demand represents business opportunities for the construction sector, the different types of socio-environmental impact that can be expected from this level of construction will be irreversible and devastating if short-term measures are not taken to mitigate them.

In the face of these challenges, ITESO promotes graduate programs in Sustainability in the Department of Habitat and Urban Development, in order to use an interdisciplinary approach to address the increasing environmental and social deterioration of urban spaces at the local, national and global levels.

The Master's Degree in Sustainable Building Projects is aimed at professionals who are interested in reducing the environmental impact of building design and construction by formulating assessments, identifying critical problems, and suggesting comprehensive solutions that consider the physical, economic and social context.

Objectives

This program focuses on:

• Forming professionals who are aware of the severe impact of human activities on the environment and capable of generating spaces that, from a sustainability perspective, contribute to improving the quality of life and the conditions of inequality in our society.
• Providing students with the knowledge, instruments, and tools, both diagnostic and analytical, to design and build a sustainable habitat.
• Developing lines of research at the graduate level that broaden and perfect knowledge on sustainability and the built environment.
