“The track and trace systems implemented by governments have compromised our privacy, but even with all the economic, social and civil rights’ sacrifices, the pandemic is still worryingly present,” says Jordi Pol, Founder and Managing Director of BCN Smart Technologies Sdn Bhd, Kuala Lumpur.

With regard to Barcelona’s handling of the crisis, he applauds the work of the healthcare workers but criticizes the fact that mobility restrictions came too late. Even so, he assures that “in Barcelona the pandemic was handled well. Perhaps the city reacted late, but it sought to protect the humanist values that define it and let the community decide.”

Finally, Pol stresses the great potential of the Catalan capital: “Barcelonans around the world must draw on our creativity to foment sustainable economic, environmental, and social cycles”.
