Mexican photographer Alejandro Cartagena documents the impact of Monterrey's rapid infrastructure development through a six-year investigation that began in 2009. Following the construction of an overpass near his home, Cartagena examines how these projects reshape urban life and benefit private interests rather than local communities. His photographs trace how new highway systems, built to serve expanding suburbs, transform downtown neighbourhoods. Through town meetings and urban planning conferences, he reveals the complex relationships between public space, political power, and private development in contemporary Mexico.
