The Parque Ciudad citizens' initiative arose from the desire to improve the environment of the Martinete neighbourhood, which is crossed by the tributary of the Monelos, the Mesoiro river, inspired by the MonRiveR project.

The neighbours promoting this initiative, led by Amar Basic, contacted CartoLab in order to seek support and collaboration. In addition, they have mobilised different Administrations, Organisations and Neighbourhood Associations.

Thus, on 17 May, the first meeting took place between those responsible for the MonRiver project and the representatives of the City Park initiative and the Neighbourhood Associations close to the river environment, which seek the common objective of improving the conditions of urban design, through the creation of green spaces and the recovery of the river environment.

This first meeting served to share perspectives and proposals and was the start of a collaborative process.
