Students 2022-2023

Anna Massa
I am a last year student of the Smart and Sustainable Cities Management degree at the UAB – Escola d’Enginyeria. My main topic of interest is Urban Innovation as a driver to urban planning and society management, keeping environmental and social sustainability as a must.
My background as a volunteer and social worker, showed me that working hand in hand with a united society is the main way to succesfully drive social, urban and ecological innovation. True innovation happens when it reaches the consciences of citizens and defends causes that deserve to be fought for, together.
