Municipalities in Spain, Venezuela, and Argentina continue to implement various infrastructure, urban planning, and service management initiatives.

In Spain, urban mobility and planning remain central. Las Rozas de Madrid is marking European Mobility Week by offering free charging at 56 electric vehicle points and free secure parking for bicycles and scooters in multimodal areas. In Catalonia, the new Municipal Urban Planning Plan (POUM) is expected to take effect this autumn, aiming to construct 2,800 new homes to address housing shortages, though development in the Calderí sector remains a point of contention. Additionally, Plasencia has approved a parking expansion project following previous legal delays, and León is seeing political debates regarding the management of municipal services and the categorization of school monitors.

In Venezuela, authorities are focusing on traffic and transport logistics. Officials are evaluating new cargo unloading schedules for Bicentenario and Bolívar avenues, proposing windows between 07:00–09:00 and 19:00–21:00 to mitigate congestion. Studies are also underway regarding transport frequency and visual occupancy to potentially relocate public transport routes.

In Argentina, the discussion regarding the transfer of water and sewage services to Aguas Santafesinas (ASSA) continues. Councilor Alejandra Chena noted that while the transfer could solve municipal system failures, it requires thorough review and dialogue regarding the project’s conditions.
