About
Cristina is an architectural designer who is passionate about cities as social and built environments. She co-founded Pulmón del Barrio, a non-profit based in Panama City that focuses on improving public spaces through community engagement, research, and design. In her previous role as a landscape and urban designer at Balmori Associates, she was involved in various projects, ranging from expansive mixed-use urban regeneration masterplans to art installations and public realm design. Before joining the Spring Cohort 2024, Cristina completed an MSc in City Design and Social Science, where her dissertation explored the impact of the newly constructed Panama Metro on women's lives and travel experiences. Through interviews and field observations, she applied a gender lens to assess the Metro's capacity for social inclusion. Cristina's approach is characterised by a keen eagerness to learn, a rigorous mindset, and a perpetual motivation to create more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable cities.
