Una ciudad inteligente es aquella con una traza de vialidades suficientemente interconectada, lo cual resulta en menor gasto de tiempo e ingresos en movilidad, mayor caminabilidad, menos cuellos de botella, mayor diversidad de alternativas de transporte colectivo o no motorizado y mejor adaptación a los incrementos de densidad en el tiempo. La conectividad inteligente debe procurar: Una retícula de vialidades primarias de un kilómetro por un kilómetro para facilitar transporte colectivo. Una conectividad mínima de 80 interconexiones por kilómetro cuadrado para fomentar la caminabilidad https://bit.ly/3nuhjKO
