Modernity should not conflict with tradition surrounding history and culture in general. Many of these values accumulate in Veracruz, so engineer Ricardo Exsome Zapata proposes an initiative that consists of uniting the political will of the three levels of government and citizens to revitalize the image of the Historic Center.
According to the former federal deputy and leading exponent of the construction sector, it is possible to achieve important levels of economic dynamics through trade, tourism and the establishment of companies with local, regional and national coverage in old houses which today are in a situation dilapidated.

Naturally, achieving this objective requires the concurrence of key factors: firstly, there must be the human factor, generating the attraction that induces the return of the “heart of the city” as a center of commercial operations, official and recreational procedures, because it has been proven that “without a sufficient number of people no project thrives in the long term”.
The construction of the Plaza del Heroismo Veracruzano is part of the rehabilitation project of the Historic Center of the City of Veracruz.
THEY HAVE VERY FIRST STEPS
It is very encouraging to observe the manifestations of the first steps directed towards the above-mentioned goal. An example, Exsome Zapata underlined, corresponds to the installation of the La Gloria company sugar factory, an agro-industry diversified in the production of sugar, alcohol and lately also rum. In this sense, following an efficient motivation, it can be replicated with companies of regional impact such as Ingenio El Modelo, Tenaris Tamsa, Constellation Brands and another number of factories with offices that could be transferred to properties preceded by historical and cultural heritage.
In this conjunction of wills proposed by the builder interviewed, he spoke about the need to review the management of income taxes in these cases where the aim is to incentivize the investor in such an economically and socially significant issue that also involves cadastral values – today maximum – that is, specific adjustments on fiscal aspects that unravel the “knot” in which the Center is trapped.
REUSE PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Anything that involves the addition of people will be welcome, and in this wish he mentioned the imperative to make optimal use of the federally owned public buildings, in addition to the other award-winning buildings that are idle in the first port square, and yes pays rent for government offices in distant parts of the Veracruz-Boca del Río conurbation.
The same thing happens with the state bodies that operated in the Historic Center, among others, the civil courts, which moved to the outskirts, canceling the circulation of people who consumed food, made purchases and occupied time, while concluding official procedures.
it would be worth reviewing the expropriation
Although some residents of Buenos Aires contribute to the rehabilitation of some buildings, much remains to be done to save the urban image. Everywhere we look, there are many buildings in ruins, at risk of falling onto pedestrians. The former federal representative therefore also proposes a revision of the concept of expropriation when the names of the owners are not known. Furthermore, they don’t even live in the state or country.
Now everything is possible with the will. In the case of the rehabilitation of recovered houses with the most convenient means, the engineer Ricardo Exsome Zapata recommends the staff of the National Institute of Anthropology and History to make the current regulation as flexible as possible with the commitment to respect the main facade of the buildings .historical catalog buildings with the use of materials typical of the construction period.
In short, everyone’s commitment: schools of various disciplines, universities and government support by bringing ideas and actions. Nothing is excluded, including the creation of a historical route, artisan workshops and the creation of a small route with the souvenir tram. There are successful references in Cartagena, Colombia and Campeche, to name a few, where old houses have become dignified spaces, generators of employment and urban vitality. The concern is on the table, we hope for interinstitutional and citizen support, he concluded.
