The city of tomorrow for its little builders
La Voz de Galicia 07/03/2019 “Nothing can ever change if the protagonists of the turn grow back to what is expected of them. It seems obvious, but too often it is forgotten. Last year, Vilagarcía provided a rare opportunity to put into practice a simple and sensible principle. For several days, fifty kids took the streets and squares as could only be done when cars did not yet dominate the urban space. That experience, carried out under the direction of the architect Sandra González Álvarez, is now summarized in a book that the Council will distribute through schools and social centers.”

The Councilor for Mobility, Paola María, highlighted in the presentation that “it is an idea very much in line with our city model because the concept of the city is not achieved only with works, but with awareness, especially of the children who will be the future mayors of these cities. In Europe, it is conveyed to us that the well-being of cities is measured in public spaces for people. We believe that the most important thing is to live in cities and enhance the interaction of the children with cities“.“

Although it is not an urban project, the A vila do mañá project appears in the dissemination category, whose architect is the architect Sandra González. This work has a direct impact on the area, since it consists of holding workshops in which schoolchildren have the task of defining how they would like the place where they live to be.
The experience has been developed in various towns in the region, such as Rianxo and Ribeira.
In addition, she gave rise to the preparation of a book that was distinguished last summer at a seminar held in Pontevedra.
