El Salvador: the surprisingly emerging model of green and human-centred smart cities
The Smart City Journal – Spain
El Salvador is undergoing a remarkable transformation, redefining its identity and offering a new vision for its future. At the heart of this change are initiatives like the CUBOs (Urban Centers for Well-being and Opportunities), which aim to empower Salvadorans to dream big and rebuild their sense of belonging.
Once known primarily for its struggles, El Salvador is now emerging as a regional leader in human-centered urban development. These efforts, supported by international collaboration with UN-Habitat and visionary leaders like Dr. Santiago Caprio, highlight a model that prioritizes people, sustainability, and cultural heritage over mere technological advancement.
In this publication, we explore how El Salvador is becoming an example for the world, showcasing the power of strategic collaboration and a holistic approach to urban transformation.
