Greenvia: a project that aims to reconsider and work on urban space as shared space for citizens

TRANSFERS OF SOCIAL INNOVATION TO PUBLIC SPACE

What tools do you think you have to offer the community and which other tools do you need?
What aspects of the public space where we live do you think need to be changed?
Would it make sense to make a map of "citizen priorities"? Do models exist for all of this?
Could they be applied to our current context?
How can we make the contradictions serve as seeds of change instead of paralyzing us?

In sum: how can we facilitate the transfer of social innovation to the public space?

#Greenvia is a project that aims to reconsider and work on urban space as shared space for citizens. It aims to serve as an incentive for the transfer of social innovation processes, generated by practices related to citizen initiatives, to the public space. The work process will be applied to possibilities for carrying out these initiatives along Madrid's river.

The project will begin with the workshop Transfers of social innovation to the public space. Its goal is to foster consultation and participation processes that listen to and assist physician forms of organization and self organization, highlighting knowledge production and community experience in decision-making processes that configure the public sphere. A digital publication will collect the workshop results and the taxonomies of participating initiatives and a viral, transversal documentation space on the entire project will lend visibility to the work results and processes.
