La Opinión A Coruña   23/07/2020                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    As Tonucci says, the city we live in has been sold, has become prostituted, Sandra González, -the creator and director of “A Vila do Mañá” program-, said yesterday, referring to the author of “La ciudad de los Niños”. The initiative reviews the design of cities and towns through children’s eyes and advocates the recovery of spaces for pedestrians and the reconfiguration of cities tailored to people. The project has so far reached more than 2,000 children in Galicia -in 2019 it made the leap to Brazil- and is being developed with the support of A Coruña Council, which yesterday presented the second phase by the provincial head of culture, Xurxo Couto, and the program director. Couto praised the intention of the project to promote that urban space stops being hostile to humanize itself. From the region of A Coruña, children from Arteixo have participated and a workshop was planned in Cambre every afternoon this summer, but it has been cancelled by Covid-19, as well as many other planned activities. The pandemic, González pointed out, has made it possible to see more clearly the importance of living in cities with enough spaces to walk and stroll.
