Las ciudades prósperas tratan la crisis de sus calles, que se agrava cada vez más
Fevereiro 2019, espanhol
Sobre el centro de Los Ángeles se ciernen grúas enormes, y en las calles resuenan ruidos de construcción, mientras los edificios nuevos y relucientes de uso mixto, los departamentos de lujo y las torres de oficinas cobran forma.
