SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Today, cities represent 3 % of the planet's surface and concentrate more than 50 % of the population. A figure that will rise to 70 % by 2050. In addition, cities generate more than 80 % of the world's gross domestic product (GDP).
In addition to facilitating access to essential services for life - such as energy and water - ACCIONA contributes to making cities places of productive well-being in which to live, favouring people's socio-economic development.
In 2014, Obras magazine recognised the UAM Cuajimalpa Torre III as the best work in the category of 'Urbanism and Social Impact', as it meets all required standards and maintains construction, high social and environmental standards, while minimising energy consumption and promoting the optimal development of the student community.
