If you missed our last Quarterly meeting on December 13, 2025
Guest Speaker:
Robert Zuniga, AICP
Zuniga's presentation provided a thorough introduction to Monterrey, a city in the northeastern part of Nuevo Leon, Mexico. It outlined the city's history from its establishment in the late 16th century to its present-day position as one of the most vibrant industrial and economic hubs in Latin America. We peered into important historical events, how Monterrey's city layout has changed over time, and the social and economic factors that influenced it development. There was particular focus on the city's industrial growth, the development of the infrastructure, and how education, innovation, and entrepreneurship have contributed to its progress.
Zuniga, an American Citizen born and raised in Mexico, dedicated 14 years to managing an independent practice in Monterrey, catering to clients in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, office and food industries. From 1993 to 2003, he also served as an adjunct faculty member of his alma mater. Technology de Monterrey (Monterrey TEC), teaching Architectural Design. In 2004, he moved to the Dallas -Fort Worth area, where he has resided ever since. He is currently employed at Stantec, concentrating on planning and design within the K-12 education sector.
