History
Urban Transformation was legally incorporated in 2007 in an urban poor community on the outskirts of Mexico City. We began by developing a comprehensive change model to address the factors that cause poverty, hopelessness, violence, fragmentation, migration and injustice, equipping local leaders, organizations and faith communities to become agents of change in their own neighborhoods, through community and infrastructure development, work with children and youth, public health, economic development, emotional recovery, violence prevention, church planting and peace building. In 2019 we formally incorporated Mosaico Urbano Mexico and Mosaico Urbano Colombia to operate most of the community initiatives in Mexico City and Barranquilla, Colombia.
Urban Transformation, today, is using the experience it has gained over 17 years to focus on advocacy, consulting, training and networking of leaders and other organizations, governmental entities and socially responsible companies in missiology, sustainable development, urban change and anti-corruption work.
