Latin America is already adopting the SMART philosophy and it's showing this in its cities and buildings. or Mexico City in Mexico, have been the first to implement smart technology in real-time monitoring of traffic, crime, and urban management within their metropolitan areas.
On the other hand, in Medellín, Colombia A high-tech center on the outskirts of the city, where more than half of the companies in the information and communication technology sector are based. And Santiago, Chile, is already emerging as the smartest city in Latin America, by implementing a project equipped with all kinds of monitoring sensors throughout the city, which makes it possible to manage its operations using real-time data.
Smarter Buildings in Latin America
In the same way that we can see the growth of SMART technology applications In Latin American cities, the private sector is beginning to embrace this new philosophy. As a result, it is driving technological advancements and incorporating them into new building developments in metropolitan areas. Some examples of these buildings include:
Espacio Condesa, Mexico City
It involves a significant mixed-use development in the heart of the neighborhood Countess in Mexico City. This property features an office tower, a shopping center, and a residential section, all of which operate very efficiently the concept of living, working, and enjoying life there.
SLS Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires
Puerto Madero It is the newest and most avant-garde neighborhood in the city of Buenos Aires, and this project aims to be the spearhead for a smart neighborhoode, brimming with culture, cuisine, and design. These two 30-story towers, which bring together retail, offices, a hotel, design, culture, and sustainability, will be the a vivid picture of the future of the city of Buenos Aires.
Pacific Center, Panama City
This building is located in the city already known as "Mini Dubai," as it has become in recent years a a focal point for high-rise buildings. But in particular, the Pacific Center, which features more than 200,000 m² of shopping centers, offices, a hospital, and a hotel, stands out for its state-of-the-art technology.
In these examples, you can see how Latin America, perhaps not at the desired pace, is on track toward a a new way of thinking about cities, in line with sustainability and the well-being of society. The southern part of the American continent is expected to experience strong growth in the technology sector, which will be reflected in the smart growth of its cities.
