Queremos cruzar esa brecha caminando. Con otras miradas, más alegres, críticas, curiosas. Pasear para imaginar lo que podría ser. Recuperar el apego, el asombro, la posibilidad.

Pero hoy, el barrio de San Cristóbal de los Ángeles sigue aún desconectado del polígono industrial de la Resina. Una avenida los divide, alejándolo de las vecinas del barrio, física y emocionalmente.

Ilustración por: Raquel Alonso _____ 🌱 We invite you to the walk «Polígono en abierto, routes of the future»! It’s the year 2075, and the industrial zones of southern Villaverde—once grey, forgotten spaces—have become fertile ground for thriving initiatives: local, circular, alive. Yet today, the neighborhood of San Cristóbal de los Ángeles remains disconnected from the Resina industrial area. A wide avenue cuts between them, growing apart from neighbours—not only physically, but emotionally. We want to walk that divide. To cross it with eyes that are fresh, joyful, critical, curious. To imagine what it could be. To rekindle attachment, wonder, and possibility. Come and take a walk with us! 🗓️ Monday, May 26th, 11:00–14:00 🗓️ Thursday, June 5th, 16:30–19:30 📍 Metro San Cristóbal, Villaverde (Madrid) We choose the possible over the probable. Shared futures. The collective as a form of resistance. (See credits above)
¡Vente a pasear mañana con nosotros!

Si quieres tener una escucha activa y real de los niños, se necesita ir a sus propios espacios, jugar y conversar. Luego, traducir este juego a los pliegos de arquitectura sin perder el espíritu. #JuanLopez-Aranguren @demsoc.org @disenoydiaspora.bsky.social

Para que la participación ciudadana funcione se necesita unos profesionales que tienen una curiosidad real. Esto parece sencillo pero no lo es. Escuchar de manera atenta, sin imponer, requiere de gente valiente. #JuanLopezArangurrn @demsoc.org #activismo #sostenibilidad #educación
