“La Plancha” Metropolitan Park

Elías Cisneros’ presentation highlights the dynamic and educational importance of integrated design in public spaces. His approach underscores how parks can be transformed into sustainable environments that not only offer natural benefits like stargazing opportunities, but also provide modern amenities such as CCTV, Wi-Fi, audio systems, bicycle stations, and electric car chargers. This approach reinforces the importance of designing public spaces that are not only functional but also promote sustainability, social interaction, and a strong sense of community.
