This activity aims to encourage young people to reflect on the transformations that cities undergo over time, adapting their spaces to the changing needs of the community.

The workshop begins with a discussion on the urban transformation process, using three real examples and analyzing the various stakeholders involved: the administration, technical teams, and the community. It is essential for participants to understand that the community plays a key role in shaping the urban environment. The goal is to empower young people and motivate them to actively engage in similar processes within their own cities.

During the practical part of the workshop, participants are divided into groups to reimagine a square, working with specific conditions assigned to each group. Each team creates a sketch of how they would transform the square, considering the types of activities that could take place, the configuration of the surfaces (such as concrete, compacted soil, or soft materials), and the physical elements that would be included (urban furniture, greenery, play elements, etc.).

This workshop has over 10 years of experience and has been conducted in numerous educational centers and cities in our region. It was created thanks to the initiative of Urbanins, which has since become integrated into the Estel cooperative.
