Hello, the project that I was talking about earlier is finally over. But it tooks me (and my colleagues) so much time to do that I wasn’t able to post about it. Anyway, the project website is online and can be seen there: http://m2_projet_mexique.frama.io/website/ Ok, it is in French but, first, it is for a French diploma in a French university, so… And second, I’ll make translations of the posts here.

Since it is too small to represent on a map, we worked on the Unités Urbaines1.
