Description
On September 19, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake shook Mexico City to its core, but also showed strides made since the last big one in 1985. “There is, of course, always room for improvement,” says 100 Resilient Cities’ Eugene Zapata-Garesché. He talks with AS/COA Online’s Carin Zissis about how the capital can learn from the most recent disaster to ready itself for inevitable future quakes.
