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».”
