This was the option chosen by Sandra González, architect and creator of the City of Tomorrow project. «At the end of the degree I find myself in a crisis, which is why I continue to train and investigate.

Due to this fact, she believes that it is time to “stop and think about how the city can be better, how they should consider themselves for the future, what would be the strategy to follow».”
