How to inhabit a wounded city?

The project is an investigation about the spaces intended for meeting,
places of activation of the possibilities of the common. Public space is a resource to which all citizens must have the right, although capitalization in all areas has caused a crisis when it comes to managing common places. In the city, the spaces where activities outside the habit of consumption can be carried out have decreased; The streets are occupied by terraces and shop windows, everything that is far from commercial logic is reduced. The few spaces that have emerged as alternatives to the consumerist city have been either reduced to non-existence or shaped by the institution until they lose their meaning. That is why this project is proposed as an ephemeral and temporary meeting. Post-it cities or occasional cities, is a term coined by Martí Perán, who defends a new social dynamic through the occupation of public space for recreational or leisure purposes, thus promoting creativity and subjectivization, in the words of the author.
