Travel across the Vilagarcía of tomorrow, from A Independencia
La Voz de Galicia 20/11/2018 ““Are the works going to start?“ Drivers asked themselves that question days ago, when signs appeared announcing that parking in the Plaza da Independencia was going to be prohibited. They asked with the same perplexity with which a woman, yesterday afternoon, looked at the tangle of coloured threads that cross the square in all directions. I did not know it, but those brightly coloured strings are part of a time machine that will transport more than three hundred schoolchildren from the neighboring San Francisco School to “A Vila do mañá“ over the next few days.“
Children take the squares
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.“

“Transforming cities with the little ones”
La Opinión A Coruña 29/08/2018 “More than fifty children from Arteixo take part in an architecture, urban planning and landscape workshop for children, in which the organizers try to draw attention to the cities that have been built in recent years. 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.”
