by hurricane maria in 2017, the earthquakes in 2020, and then again by hurricane fiona in 2022. [wind howling] i'm meeting with community advocate javier de jesus martínez, architect and entrepreneur, who is determined to revive ponce to its former grandeur. - many buildings were damaged, primarily because of the hurricanes. some of the buildings that were hit were hit again, in this case by the earthquake. - ah. - it was double damaged. - right. - and there's a whole process of reconstruction going on right now. - really? to restore all these buildings? - yes. well-- - are you going to be able to do them all? - yes, it-- they depends. the ones that are on the public realm, there's things that are already back into-- into construction. but the process of reconstructing a city or region, you have to consider the emotional, the cultural, the identity of a place in order to rebuild it.
