Here are a few of the quotes from our event at Col·legi d'Enginyers de Camins in Barcelona last week and the video of the entire conference, watch it to learn more about our work!
Video of the Aretian Presentation:
“I had the privilege to read both studies, congratulations! You achieved a qualitative leap in applying complex systems analysis to urban problems and distilling the key ingredients and dynamics that enable the success of cities. [...] The study developed by Aretian on the Barcelona Metropolitan Area is extremely valuable. It should be the first step towards an in-depth analysis and design project to shape the future of the region.”
Miquel Barceló, InnoPro, Founder of 22@ Innovation District in Barcelona

"Complex Systems Modeling enables us to envision high-quality design interventions which transform the environment in which we operate to conceive more liveable cities and more prosperous communities "

“To create distributed prosperity, we need to nurture and shape three types of networks:
- The network of talent,
- The network of industries/knowledge, and
- The network of urban design and infrastructure.”

“By analyzing the causal mechanisms behind the success of the top Innovation Districts, we can learn from both best practices in the field and malpractice case studies to propel the knowledge economies of cities worldwide.”
Jeremy Burke, Co-Founder at Aretian, Harvard Researcher
