TIRONI, Martín. Ethics of care of urban resources: maintenance and repair on a public bicycle system. ARQ (Santiago) [online]. 2015, n.89, pp.76-89. ISSN 0717-6996.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-69962015000100011.

Maintenance and repair are actions that prevent the transformation of resources into waste. Thus, for the contemporary city to qualify as efficient, the invisible work of those who maintain and repair urban resources is essential. Delving into the invisible layers of the city, this research brings awareness to those, almost artisan, practices that, without much publicity, let us enjoy ‘intelligent’ cities or ‘sustainable’ transportation systems.

Palabras clave : Maintenance; repair; ethics; resources; public bicycles; smart city.
