Course of action

• Evaluate the configuration of the architectural spaces considering its influence on the social relations that may or may not occur.

• Create methodologies and tools to observe and understand the reality to promote a better management of complex social processes, overcoming the conflict stage and to build new conflictive-convivial syntheses.

• Identify interventions in the public space that enable the coexistence of different social groups through the integration of different uses and activities in the same public space.

• Accompany any urban reform with a social program with actions that promote aspects of coexistence and encourage the self-organization of the different groups or groups.

• Ensure a certain continuity in social programs to avoid dissolution of the social fabric cohesion achieved, due to the lack of a space for socialization.

• Value the spaces of relationship (streets, squares, parks, facilities ...) as strategic places of coexistence.

• Include the participation of the population, attend to their needs and perceptions when designing these spaces to avoid possible conflicts. Promote life in the neighborhood, the existence of daily amenities and shops to help people socialize in the neighborhood and can get to know each other.
