Characterizing the Urban Creativity Ecosystem: agents, processes, and mediations toward sustainable communities
(2026) Souza Sánchez, Pablo Miguel de
By recognizing creativity as a driver of urban sustainability, this study analyses the transition from conventional planning toward the Urban Creativity Ecosystem, understood as a multiscalar network in which human, infrastructural, institutional, and symbolic capitals co-produce social, economic, cultural, and environmental value. Through a selective, structured, and integrative literature review and comparative case analysis, the study identifies its components and dynamics of scaling, co-evolution, and resilience. It proposes an open planning framework in which urban professionals and civil society collaborate to promote equitable development. The cases of El Campo de Cebada and Luz nas Vielas show the role of artists as cultural mediators capable of activating shared narratives, community bonds, and appropriation of public space. Finally, the article concludes that these processes require governance models that prevent heritage commodification, residential displacement, and the loss of local identity.
Artificial Intelligence in Physiotherapy and Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Narrative Review
(2026) Artiles Sánchez, Justo; Riquelme Aguado, Víctor; Fernández Carnero, Josué; Alonso Pérez, José Luis; Villafañe, Jorge Hugo
This narrative review aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of artificial intelligence (AI)– supported physiotherapy compared to conventional approaches.
AI-assisted physiotherapy appears effective, feasible, and well-accepted across diverse clinical contexts. While some interventions outperformed traditional care, others showed equivalent outcomes with improved engagement. These findings support the integration of AI into rehabilitation and highlight areas for further research.
