Apology of the parks: City and disenchantmen

Abstract

In the middle of the city, the park is always a vital reference when it comes to defending the idea of a “natural lung”, a breather, meeting place, chat, cultural events, flora and fauna, rest.

Therefore, this text raises the fact that the park deserves recognition, the tribute that, as an isolated place and the same time, a step and a must, represents for the people and communities in general. It is a space of distraction and reflection  of gathering at which the different  social classes come, the winners and the defeated, the visitors and the natives, the occasional  and the social referents. A micro universe where, chatter and Humanism weave and unravel dialogues permanently.

It is more than a referential universe in the villages: it is the meeting of discourses, of art, of the human…of life.
