On June 25, the 2024 Zigurat Summit took place in Barcelona, sparking important discussions about the convergence of artificial intelligence, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and sustainability in the construction industry.
As an architect and urban researcher, I study spatial equity, livability, and everyday experience of urban environments through geospatial methods, field observation, and conceptual frameworks. My work explores why territories with advanced planning and infrastructure still produce unequal everyday experiences, and how spatial data can reveal the hidden patterns that shape these disparities and inform more equitable territorial decision-making.
My professional and intellectual center has always been cities. After years immersed in technology, sustainability, and large-scale, complex data-driven systems in the energy industry, I felt a clear need to bring that knowledge back to the urban territories, where these systems ultimately converge and shape daily life.
I founded 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗨𝗿𝗯𝘀 as a research-driven platform dedicated to analyzing urban livability through data, mapping, and grounded observation, with emphasis on proximity, public space quality, and socio-territorial inequality. I translate complex spatial patterns into clear, evidence-based insights that support more equitable urban policy and decision-making.
The Smart City Expo Santiago 2025 took place from July 24 to 26 at the Centro Cultural Estación Mapocho in Santiago, Chile, convening urban planners, policymakers, community leaders, and technology innovators from across Latin America and beyond.
The opening session set a powerful tone, reaffirming Santiago’s commitment to inclusive development, urban resilience, and the transformative power of public policy in shaping livable futures. This year’s central theme, “Taking back the city for people: a shared challenge” called for a renewed focus on reclaiming urban spaces to advance equity,
well-being, and sustainability.
In addition to the main event, four specialized forums delved into the interconnected aspects of livable urbanism, including Mobility and City Planning, Safe and Resilient Cities, Restoring Nature to the City and Living better.
The International Congress, organized by Fira Barcelona, featured keynote sessions, case studies, and collaborative labs, guaranteeing a dynamic platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange.
