Javier Leal I work with mayors, developers, designers and organizations
to enhance their cities and communities.

Over the past fifteen years, I have collaborated with leaders across the private, public, and non-profit sectors to plan, design, and implement tailored solutions that promote inclusive, resilient, and healthy communities. 

Most recently (2020 - 2024), I led the urban transformation projects of San Pedro Garza García, Mexico, as the head of IMPLANG, the Municipal Institute of Urban Planning and Design (implang.gob.mx). 

I hold a Master’s in City Planning from MIT and a BA in Architecture from Tecnológico de Monterrey.
