Environmental Studies: A municipal government was concerned that its development would not be in agreement with its stated goals of being environmentally sustainable. Estudios Técnicos, Inc. was hired to produce a blueprint that, when implemented, would make the city a sustainable urban environment. The project was subsequently complemented by the design of metrics which makes it possible for the municipal government to measure progress in this area.

Urban and Regional Planning: Local and municipal governments today enjoy greater autonomy in economic development issues than ever before. But with greater autonomy comes greater responsibility and less opportunity to rely on the technical resources of the central government. The urban and regional planning division at Estudios Técnicos, Inc. has developed valuable expertise in helping local governments to design and implement economic development strategies with a local and regional scope. The focus is on defining strategic actions that leverage local resources by forging strong municipal, academic and business alliances, and on maximizing synergies with national development programs.
