Good practices: the plaza regained
The website esterni.org reports about the development of a project of an intervention on public spaces, realised thanks to a public collective initiative. The intervention was carried out from an international workshop, conducted by Milanese association Esterni in 2008 and it was designed to find solutions for an abandoned space in the neighbourhood of Lavapiés in Madrid. Artists, technicians and students from around the world collaborated to develop a project of transforming an urban void into a new public space. The focus of the intervention was the involvement of citizens: getting involved in the project and by continuing the disputes with the municipality of Madrid, citizens won the right to occupy and manage a public space.
