The residents of the square want a reform of the square that makes it greener more
colorful and more of all neighbors eradicating bad habits there. we also want the square
to be more sustainable even placing triangular sails that provide shade in summer and
water mist to cool the area. we also want more trees and cultural alternatives such as
theater and puppets some solidarity market and even the possibility of giving a concert
with unidirectional speakers. We are open to any suggestion or idea from any of the
neighbors of the district.
A public playroom is needed for children and babies in the District so that they can
play days of rain, cold, or very hot. Currently, the only options are private, scarce and
expensive. In addition, there are almost no public (or private) spaces appropriate for
babies in their first year of life to develop their motor skills.
It is
proposed to create a comfortable, warm, inclusive and accessible space, where we can spend
time with our children and share with other families. A public space could be set up to
become a playroom with a wide access timetable. In its interior and exterior zones,
children will be able to socialize, play and participate in activities, babies will be
able to move freely in a safe place; and their mothers and fathers will have zones to
exchange experiences, form themselves, organize workshops, weave networks and propose
cultural activities for girls and boys.
Plant shade trees in squares that are now mere stone deserts or lack them, so that they
can be used by neighbors as small oases in the city and contribute to clean the
environment and lower high temperatures in summer. To provide them with sufficient land
and irrigation so that they can live and develop (and not remain like sad skewers). Choose
species that work well in this environment.
The reading rooms are one of the few spaces, next to the libraries, where the youth of
the district can study quietly and properly prepare their exams.
Recently
some of them have been rehabilitated, but they need improvements both to allow access to
their services to everyone and to facilitate the consultation of information and knowledge
so necessary while a person studies. Therefore, we propose that in the four reading
rooms:
To install elements that allow accessibility to people with reduced
mobility, except in Cebreros due to the strong technical difficulties of carrying it out.
Free wi-fi network coverage is available. We also propose the installation of
accessibility elements for people with reduced mobility at the western entrance to the
Cultural Centre.
It is proposed the creation of a market where neighbors can exchange objects (barter),
would not be a selling market, nor with the existence of donations, nor would there be any
profit, only exchange of objects without the presence of money. And in order to do so, it
is requested that part of the public space in the Children's Park be adapted with the
urban furniture necessary to make this market where barter can be carried out between the
neighbours.
The necessary urban furniture would be tables, benches and a
closed space to store materials that will be used in the barter market.
This
proposal is created due to the lack of public spaces destined to the neighborhood meeting,
to improve the social economy of the neighborhoods and to continue with the work that the
collectives and the neighbors of the district of Chamartín had been doing in the barter
market that was carried out in the park of Gloria Fuertes.
The estimated
value of investment in this proposal would be around € 5000.
The population is increasing in age and not all older people have places to go with
specific help. Especially municipal day centres for Alzheimer's where professionals could
help stimulate them to be less sad and alone at home.
