Promoted by the Directorate General of Transparency and Citizen Participation of the Government of Canarias in collaboration with the Santa Cruz City Council, this initiative will allow residents, collectives, and entities in the neighborhood to contribute ideas and work together to improve their surroundings. The call for proposals will be open until November 14th, focusing on eight strategic challenges linked to the territory's needs.
The Director General, Carmen Delia Alberto, highlighted that the objective is to create a co-creation space where citizens can actively contribute to change, strengthen neighborhood relations, and foster collaboration with public administrations.
For his part, the councilor for the Southwest District, Javier Rivero, emphasized the neighborhood's participatory nature and noted that the project will contribute to the joint construction of the city and the development of the district.
