We engage in mobile lives in several ways: we move by land, sea and air, we depend on our smartphones, we travel frequently for both business and pleasure, and human movement is accelerated as the dynamism of migratory flows breaks with static, national boundaries.
Lawyer Renata Ávila already enlightened us about digital citizenship, key in understanding the 21st century. Now I have enjoyed some wise insights from Rafael Heiber, Co-founder and Executive Director of the Forum of Common Action Forum, a progressive non-profit organization seeking global solutions to problems like the rise of neofascism, economic inequalities, the impact of new technologies or the environmental crisis.
In addition, Rafael writes for HuffPost and Open Democracy. As an expert in mobility, he knows the business model of the so-called “collaborative consumption” very well and is familiar with experiences such as carsharing, and his thoughts will help us understand how to move literally and metaphorically in smart cities ... and how to work towards a society that reflects a citizenship of the common good.
