This section summarizes my past and current research in urban development, from my research in Venezuela to my work in the Emerging and Sustainable Cities Initiative (ESCI) of the Inter-American Development Bank.

CITIZEN CULTURE AND ROAD EDUCATION TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC IN CARACAS, VENEZUELA

In September 2008, Laura Strazzboschi and I presented our thesis project to complete our BA in Communications in Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB).

The thesis consisted on a communications strategy to improve traffic in the municipality of Chacao, Caracas by promoting citizen culture and road education.  The name of the campaign is "cumpliendo se mueve Chacao" (following the rules, Chacao gets moving).
