Description of the performance / Activity:
The growth of Sabiñánigo is the result of urban planning actions motivated in many cases by specific decisions, far from a traditional urban planning approach. These actions have caused somewhat disordered urban growth.
If we add the orography to that, we can find areas with complicated mobility and accessibility conditions throughout the urban fabric. Sabiñánigo is a living city, with an enviable associative fabric. There are numerous groups that work for normalization and equal opportunities in the locality and that demand the local administration’s involvement to achieve universal accessibility. Sabiñánigo deserves an effort to make it more habitable.
