Text description provided by the architects. Playón de Chacarita is a popular neighborhood in Buenos Aires, established in 2000 on former railway tracks. The Playón Red project aims to create a network of safe, healthy, and sustainable public spaces through participatory dialogue with residents. The initiative seeks to foster socio-ecological interactions to build a more inclusive and resilient community. To achieve these goals, a collaborative management model was implemented, integrating local organizations and cooperatives, with financial support from re:arc Institute and backing from the Housing Institute of Buenos Aires City.
