Barcelona’s Rejuvenation

There’s hundreds of technological and infrastructural innovations happening all over the globe – the soon-to-be-built $1 billion residentless city, the possibility of floating airports, and underwater villas to name just a few – but not many cities see so much rejuvenation condensed in such a short time as Barcelona.

However, many cities also utilize in-person, peer-to-peer networking and interaction between companies based in the same area. Continue reading “The Culture of a Collaborative Economy”
