For a long time, cars were the primary protagonists of major cities. This prioritization resulted in territories occupied mostly by highways, leaving them uninviting to people. In recent years, however, many cities have undergone spatial transformations, seeking to reshape their relationship with automobiles and prioritize pedestrians and the human scale.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, urban territories have gradually transformed to accommodate automobiles. Driven by technological advancements and cultural shifts, cars became the main protagonists of certain cities, whose territories were carved up and bound by major highways, avenues, and overpasses. While the connectivity resulting from this model has become fundamental to society, its negative consequences have also taken a significant toll.
