When we analyze the impact that new technologies are having on our society, we know that the disruption that elements such as IoT, 5G communications or the protocols developed to support cryptocurrencies have on the global economy is not a new topic of discussion. They are forcing us all, as human beings and members of a society that is advancing at tremendously high speeds for what we have been used to in recent decades, to rethink the way we live together and what our cities of the future are going to be like.

If someone could see us from very high up, but not see what we do or what we are, what we build or what we execute, but only what we think as a huge mass of energy that is shaping what humanity is managing to co-create, they would possibly realize that there are social dynamics that are always going in various directions,…

In general, no human being ever seriously asks himself what has been his origin and why we are "distributed" in this way. It is understood that it is a consequence of the economic…
Among the different possibilities that humanity is contemplating to guarantee mobility in the large cities that continue to grow at accelerated rates, and in which an increasing part of the planet's population is concentrated, are those proposals that seek to reduce polluting emissions from private vehicles, replacing them with a growing number of platforms that offer the possibility of sharing transportation and reducing, if used at maximum capacity, up to three or four times the number of cars that enter or circulate through our streets and avenues.
