It will be at the Josefina Soria Library of the Cultural Center at 8:00 p.m.
Under the title FROM THE HOUSE TO THE PLAZA.
TRANSVERSAL LANDSCAPE, Iñaki Romero will analyze in Cartagena Think about the importance of public space for a better quality of life for citizens.
It will be presented by Ignacio Abad Cayuela of the Cartagena Piensa promoter group and admission is free until full capacity is reached.
While any person is aware of their right to decent housing and the minimum parameters of habitability, the general average knowledge about the qualities of public space is considerably lower, and therefore also their demand on it.
Therefore, it would be ideal if the general political and civic concern for public space were as much as the concern for housing, "from the house to the square".
