The Planners

“The curious thing about this is that along in history, cities keep an evolutionary pattern, so spatial organization or urban planning will always be a constant activity for the specialists and for the people building the cities and those are US!!! The citizens, we as citizens should be aware in all terms of the growth and develop of the urban spaces, it should be relevant whether we study architecture, law, engineer, mathematics, etc. we are all part of the city and with our activities we are building it, so planning cities is about planning together our lifestyles, working together for the quality of life that we want, with base on values, creativity and participation.

The Urban planner will only be the one who translates all the ideas of the citizens in a real project”
