It is important to build a complete picture of the urban management process.

Cities must adopt long-term policies.

The perfect city does not exist.

It is not enough to excel in one single area.

CONCLUSIONS

INFOGRAPHIC: SANDRA VILLAR BERENGUER

No city operates in isolation from the realities of its country.
