Transforming the Village Through Protagonist Participation
Tactical Urbanism for Traffic Calming
“streets / Girls and boys, in their mute solitudes / they cross the streets of bitter cities / Vertiginous rhythms modulate his walk / There are no rest stops, there is no time / There is no time to recover, and look and feel / to observe, to learn / to want Inhospitable urban spaces, of senseless wars / forgotten values and excessive ambitions / they mislead their people / And between broken memories, foul-smelling containers / traffic lights, cars, vomit and urine / children’s tears also wet the streets”
Adriana Bisquert
It is a simple and powerful formula of URBAN TRANSFORMATION, followed by VILAS and CITIES in the whole world, which allows to change spaces through actions with ephemeral and economic elements.
In this way, it is possible to TRANSFORM mere SPACES of transit or parking into ZONES of LIFE and social interaction, creating meeting places for the community and above all designed by and for children and adolescents, where they are the protagonists.
Protagonistic participation of children and adolescents in transforming the streets of their schools through tactical urban planning actions. The aim is to change the current model that produces road insecurity and transform the school environment into a safe place. These small actions are intended to calm traffic in school zones.
COLOUR YOUR VILLAGE
The village or city in which we are working, transformed into a game board, a laboratory of experimentation where children and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
