“The urban planning and heritage workshop launched last summer at the initiative of PØST Arquitectos and with the collaboration of the Ribeira City Council has now crystallized in a 90-page book in which much of the work carried out with the boys who participated in this initiative aimed at teaching them in a playful way to care for and value the spaces where they live.”

The didactic urban project A vila do mañá, created and directed by the architect Sandra González, which premiered in Rianxo in December 2016, is beginning to bear fruit. This is an innovative initiative in which cities and towns become game boards and experimentation laboratories for young people to contribute their perspective on the spaces in which they live. This singular proposal will be unveiled in the virtual pavilion of the Venice Biennale next month.
It will also be disseminated in Vienna, specifically at the conference on children in the city

The countdown to find out if the rianxeiro executive will have a specific subsidy from the Xunta for the rehabilitation of the old teachers’ homes is already underway. The City Council has already presented its exhaustive project to materialize what will be the first properties of the future bag for social emergency rentals of the municipality. And, in keeping with the human objective pursued, this plan provides for the creation of a leisure area decorated from recycled materials, in this case with nets and other marine tools.
The architect Carlos Coto spoke about the proposal during the Voice Forum on recycling held in Muros, and gave it as an example of sustainable urbanism. Likewise, he spoke about citizen involvement in its development.
This participatory nature will be produced by seeking collaboration from neighbors linked to the maritime sector and similar associations, which will be integrated into the preparation of the final design.
Lo Que Yo Te Digo 30/08/2017 “Despite the fact that the rain that fell this Tuesday morning made it necessary to end the outdoor activity earlier than planned, the students who attend the urban planning and heritage workshop “A Cidade do Mañá” were able to go out into the street , specifically to Porta do Sol, to immerse yourself in the content of this initiative. It was not until a little after eleven in the morning that the children took over this space by taping it, a task in which they all participated divided into four teams. Immediately afterwards, and before the adverse weather made an appearance and they had to return to the O Grupo school, where they continued with the workshop, they were playing policemen and robbers in the delimited place, being able to use a space that they usually have to their heart’s content. banned.“

Invading the O Sol square. This is how the day began yesterday for the children participating in the A Cidade do Mañá urban planning workshop. The rain caused a change of plans, so instead of taking over the O Sol square, they had to occupy the CEIP O Grupo pavilion track. Until Friday, the little ones will be made in situ with the Ribeirense streets.
While time allowed, they were delimiting the space of the small square, with the help of some tapes. “They placed them to their liking, they had the feeling that the place was theirs,” explains Sandra González, creator of the project. And that is one of the objectives of the course: that the youngest recover their space on the street
Diario de Arousa 29/08/2017 “Promoting a change of model in a city far from the needs of its inhabitants is the objective in which “A Cidade do Mañá” is framed, an urban planning and heritage workshop for children and youth that until this Friday is taking place in Ribeira with the participation of a hundred participants from 3 to 12 years old who are part of the conciliation camps of the ‘Verán Cultural’.“
El Correo Gallego 29/08/2017 “The workshop aims to provide children with the necessary tools to develop their creativity from art and architecture with the aim of provoking in them a new look at the spaces in which they live.“
La Voz de Galicia 20/08/2017 “OOrganized by the City Council with the support of the Association for the Defense of Galician Cultural Heritage (Apatrigal), its purpose is to teach the participants (it is aimed at kids) respect for heritage and to know the environment in which they grow up and live: “Sin o coñecemento e sin amor, no hai respecto”, say the organizers.”

It is a story that led to the brick crisis: recently finished her Architecture degree, Sandra González chose to focus on her thesis in view of the current situation, and in her work on urban plans she concluded that these regulations “were the same for the coast and the interior, and they did not generate a city, they thought about cars”, so he decided to investigate the opinion of the youth. The A vila do mañá project was born, which these days ends up in Ames.
Thus, and taking advantage of the summer camps, the team made up of Sandra González, as creator of the initiative, and the coordinators Miguel Comesaña and David Balseiro, are working with almost 80 kids in the largest of the cities (before, in Bertamiráns, they already involved another 170 young people), with the support of councilors Blas García and David Santomil. And the first conclusions are already arriving in an amazing way.
La Voz de Galicia 29/07/2017 “The economic crisis that affected, and continues to affect, our country ran into the illusion of recent graduates who found themselves in a situation that did not bode well for the future. Given this circumstance, many chose to continue training to broaden their knowledge and wait for the country’s economy to recover little by little. This was the option chosen by Sandra González, architect and creator of the City of Tomorrow project. «At the end of the degree I find myself in a crisis, which is why I continue to train and investigate. Now it seems that the crisis is ending, but the same thing is still being done as before: building for the sake of building, following the same urban plans as before,” González said. Due to this fact, she believes that it is time to “stop and think about how the city can be better, how they should consider themselves for the future, what would be the strategy to follow».”
