Diario de Arousa   20/11/2018                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The bustle of screams and children’s laughter was yesterday’s soundtrack of all those who passed through the Praza da Independencia. Dozens of children from San Francisco School took this central square to kick off a new edition of “A Vila do mañá” initiative. Games of all kinds were the main attraction of the morning and will continue to be throughout this week. And the idea is not far from the image that the local government wants for this environment in just a few months. In fact, the works that will pedestrianize two of the three sides of this square will begin imminently. Meanwhile, that enjoyment of the street by pedestrians is experienced by the children.

A Praza da Independencia will soon undergo a major refurbishment, in which people will gain ground on cars. More than 300 children will pass through this space between today and Friday, or what is the same, 300 inhabitants of tomorrow’s Vilagarcía.”

“Children are the future of a city: if it is good for them, it is good for everyone”

elDiario.es   13/11/2018                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The architect Sandra González has developed her work “La Ciudad del Mañana / A Vila do Mañá” in several Galician towns. It has one goal: to make cities more accessible to children and families. Today’s children live in a box, they travel in a smaller box the car and they arrive at a larger box: the school, the shopping centre, the sports centre or the playgrounds. They do not know the city they live in. She has presented it at the Child in the City World Conference in Vienna: I think it is not necessary to look outside our territory, we have an example of how a city can change and become livable: Pontevedra.”

The workshop proposes the temporary transformation of various public spaces in Arteixo.

Sandra González, who is, along with her PØSTarquitectos team, one of those in charge of putting it into operation, says that one of the goals of this activity is to generate identity among the little ones. In the workshop, children explain their vision of the municipality and draw the most outstanding elements for them: the Burger King, the sports centre, a supermarket and the park, according to González. They also propose how the locality should be.”
