The public entities of the city that are in charge of improving the road accessibility conditions of the disadvantaged neighborhoods act under the studies and road designs of professionals with different technical approaches, who in turn are governed by the technical and specific regulations of the control entities and established construction processes. For years that has been the order of things, but it has fallen short - it is incomplete, because it lacks the vision and aspiration of the final beneficiary: whoever inhabits those spaces. By means of tools from social studies and design, and added to the experience and love of the professionals of the neighborhood improvement team of the Popular Housing fund, we have innovated the way of conceiving neighborhood public spaces for meeting, circulation, recreation, contemplation and formation.

We want those who inhabit and experience the territory to analyze it, imagine it and transform it incrementally; just as they have built their homes, their streets and their own lives. The population that benefits from these interventions are men, women, boys, girls and adolescents, older adults and the forms of animal and plant life that surround them. These communities have low purchasing power, sometimes disabilities, high vulnerability and few economic, educational, health and spatial opportunities. They are often people who have come to the big city in search of better opportunities and a more stable future. Who have built their homes, occupying peripheral spaces of the city, often close to risk areas and with precarious construction methods. Through the application of the entity's social management manual and co-design sessions with the inhabitants of all age groups in the neighborhood, this project is intended to find how local identity can inspire popular creativity and contributes to design proposals. Stories and conceptual narratives, drawings, models, photographic safaris and everything necessary for people to demonstrate the deficiencies in their streets are collected. Then, possible solutions and the collective imaginaries are developed to design urban alternatives: furniture, games, gardens, orchards, murals, gymnasiums, roofs, viewpoints and other pertinent ones.
