Resumen
The Mexican government is in the wake of employing new strategies to move the economy into a “post-maquila” age by focusing its growth on advanced manufacturing sectors. These plans are dedicated to such industries as aerospace, transportation, and tooling. This study, in contrast, builds on the idea of investing in innovation and creativity by proposing a focused solution for the Mexico City metropolis. Mexico City is experiencing a social and economic renaissance that, if properly nurtured, can propel it to become a design and manufacturing cluster of innovative and creative products. This study will evaluate recent changes, focusing on the growing creative class and entrepreneurial climate, as well as assessing what is missing in order to foster the creation of this cluster that would ultimately offer similar economic and social benefits as advanced manufacturing. This investigation was conducted by examining published studies and reports and conducting interviews.
