MANU FERNÁNDEZAs a researcher and urban policy consultant for the last ten years, I have always been involved in projects relating to local sustainability and analysis of urban economies. I am currently working as a freelance in three areas: adaptive strategies to cope with the economic crisis, the intersection of digital and social perspectives of bottom‐up smart cities and, finally, the actions to boost economic revitalization in cities.URBAN
