Its inhabitants, through the appropriation of public space as a means of transformation, have been changing the reality of the place. The project relies on its popular plan to transform this place, intervening in Can Carol and La Cantera, two places with a great symbolic value, being part of the historical memory of the neighbourhood. It reconverts these spaces into cultural equipment, open-air sports equipment and cooperative housing.
