Mobile community communication device that activates dialogue spaces in public areas. Using a transportable radio structure, the project promotes neighborhood participation and reflection on urban coexistence, temporarily transforming squares and streets into spaces for gathering and exchange.

 

Challenge:

Urban public spaces do not always encourage dialogue among neighbors. Daily life tends to fragment social relationships and limits opportunities for collective discussion. The challenge was to activate accessible participation mechanisms that generate public conversation, foster social interaction, and encourage reflection on coexistence and the local territory.

 

Proposal:

A mobile radio device was created that is temporarily installed in different urban spaces to facilitate neighborhood participation. Through open programs, conversations, and collective activities, participants share experiences and opinions about life in the neighborhood. The transportable structure allows squares and streets to be activated as meeting spaces, combining social communication, urban experimentation, and citizen participation.
