Context

Today, the planet has grown to over 7 billion people, and for the first time in history, more than half of the population lives in cities. This trend continues to grow as a result of the economic attractiveness of these areas, which will have to be able to accommodate an additional 1.5 billion residents.

In a few decades, metropolitan cities will be privileged living environments to almost all of humanity.

This demographic explosion and growing attraction of urban areas pushes us to rethink about what the neighborhoods of tomorrow could be like, allowing a new lifestyle experience, sustainable and responsible to the greatest extent.
