Generic Skills

B.1. Understanding of integrated and sustainable urban development: 
My personal education joins the urban studies and architecture with geography and terrytory sustainable development. Architecture and urban studies are my mail educational approach. I had the degree in the ETSAM architectural school in Madrid. Afterwards i moved to geography where i studied one year master in advance territorial sustainable development. Moreover i finished my philosophy degree aplying a very enriched mixture of participatory and empowerment theories into architecture in my PhD thesis. All the educational steps i had contributed to a very holistic and complex understanding of what cities means in terms of social life, metabolismic flows and urban dynamics. My personal understanding of integrated and sustainable urban development is currently focused on grass-rooted urban local initiatives which are practicing the city in an alternative ways. Local initiatives are mixing adhocracy, bottom-up processes, sovereignty recovering (either sectorial and territorial), alternative practices and citizen innovation. Moreover those practices are contributing to the SDG from civil society and transforming public policies. That is why is so important to research, detect, visibilize, connect and present the local citizen initiatives ecosystem to the traditional urban stakeholders (administration, university, developers...).
B.2. Understanding of exchange and learning processes at transnational level: 
We do need to understand local and global processes in terms of local based initiatives. While we can share the ongoing empowerment of civil society, based on new technologies, access to massive education devices, DIY practices...with local urban informal and emergent agendas of each specific context. My experience during these las ten years is based mainly in Iberoamerican countries (CIVICs.cc map and SEGIB/ AECID Agreement) plus european context, collaborating with many institutions such as UIA Actions (Mares Madrid Proyect), European Cultural Foundation, Goethe Institut network... In those practices a rich mixing between academic sphere, public administrations, local initiatives, independent organisms and entrepeneurships actors were involved as stakeholders in diverse procedures such as mapping workshops, participatory processes, urban seminaries, coproduction projects, design thinking challenges and codesign strategies. For further information please visit viveroiniciativasciudadanas.net These actions are being developed by VIC Vivero de Iniciativas Ciudadanas & CIVICs digital map, mixing geography, urbanism, social and cultural trends and field research. Deeply connected with the architecture, geography and urban investigation
B.3. Proficiency in English: 
I do have experience either studying and working in english language. Mainly during my scholarship in the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in USA during 2000/2001. I worked with the worldwide known architectural office SOM (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP). Furthermore in my daily professional responsibilities i used to travel frequently to european countries where english language is mainly required (if not a local language is spoken) as working language. Last test i did (15 years ago) i had 223 woeful computer based test.

Expertise for the design and delivery of transnational exchange and learning activities:

Thematic expertise:

Theme / Policy: 
Urban Strategic Planning
Summary Thematic expertise: 
Innovative approach to urban strategy by including local communities wich are already practicing the city. Main actions which determine and shape the city includes politicians, investment companies, experts and professional and we do need to include opportunity areas, meanwhile spaces, grassroots initiatives, adhocracy, bottomup innovation and so on. Through different tools and procedures (such as mapping, laboratories, coproduction, placemaking, prototyping...) we test and incoporate different audiences, knwoledges and practices to enrich the city complexity. My principal task in not a pure consultant but a "city maker", it means not to tell "what to do" in base a research and analisys but also "do" with communities through participation, workshops, cocreation labs, fabrication and DIY techniques. Some of the main actions: -Los Madriles: mapping process in Madrid to visivilize grass roots initiavives and informal and emergent trends which are being integrated into public policies. https://losmadriles.org/ -MaresMadrid: urban transformation through the creation of sectorial hubs which promotes productive initiatives of social economy into urban mobility, food, recycling, energy and cares. https://maresmadrid.es/ - CCDLab: Urban Innovation Lab, Guadalajara México. Toghether with Ciudad Creativa Digital the lab aims to codesign the urban strategy plan for Morelos Park area. https://elpais.com/elpais/2017/09/07/alterconsumismo/1504789543_634343.html

Expertise support to local authorities and other stakeholders in designing & delivering integrated and participatory policies

E.1. Knowledge on participatory methods and tools for co-production and implementation of local polices : 
Main participatory processes i had been involved as cocreator and coleader (VIC) are: - Las Teresitas beach participatory process (Tenerife, 2015) as a responsible for designing, producing, facilitating and managing of the participatory process. Main actions were codesign the participatory infraestructura placed on the beach. Design the interactive walls (memory, childhood, old age, tourists). The participatory tables and the final report (diagrams, charts, statistics, conclusions, action maps) https://es.slideshare.net/VICvivero/proceso-participativo-playa-teresitas-tenerife-49781500 - Conquista La Marina (San Sebastián de los Reyes, 2016) as a responsible for designing, producing, facilitating and managing of the cocreation process. Main actions were design and build the participatory infraestructure, design and produce the participatory dinamics (toolkits, interactive maps, reference images, project canvas, financial plan...) https://es.slideshare.net/VICvivero/lam-plan-de-acciones-160608 - Mercado de Legazpi (Madrid, 2016) as a responsible for designing, producing, facilitating and managing of the cocreation process. Main actions were describe the ongoing architecture project, social and community requirements translation into a surface area and equipment needs into the new building, design thinking procedure to codesign new spaces, collective furniture building workshops) https://issuu.com/mercadolegazpimadrid/docs/vic-dossier_mercado-legazpi-161125-
E.2. Knowledge on integrated approach for the design, delivering, monitoring and evaluation of urban strategies/policies: 
Mares Madrid is a UIA project where we could follow the whole process and implemente a monitoring accompaniment along the three years process. On the first stage the competences laboratory was boosted in order to gather and accelerate citizen initiatives which were developing innovative ideas (informal, precarious, emergent) in the five sectors: mobility, food, recycling, energy and cares. During the first phase we mapped those initiatives and asked local communities to launch new ideas based on their social/ territorial needs. Second phase those ideas were connected with leaders and experts to conform working teams to develop those ideas. Third phase we mixed already existing productive network, grassroots initiatives and upcoming ideas into value chains. Fourth phase was to mentoring in terms of management and legal aspects, but also to shape the learning communities where different skills, jobs and expertises were mixed together into a horizontal and distributed learning process. In the final stage we are connecting those projects with a national reference companies that are offering their services into private sector,and public tenders. The whole process were monitorized by the triple balance (social, economical and environmental). All the projects were encourage to develop theirselves under a sustainable growth (social economy, circular economy, common good) and they were selected within a territorial rebalance (more vulnerable districts, higher unemployment rates...)
E.3. Awareness of the main policy and funding schemes for sustainable urban development at EU and national level: 
I am involved right now in several projects which are totally related with the sustainable urban development. Some examples: - Reinventing Cities: as a team member of SIC-VIC, recently shortlisted for two places in Madrid. This an international contest organized by C40 network (low-carbon cities) - ODS implementation. Right now we are implementing the ODS (UN) into CIVICs platform together with Segib. I was attending to several ODS courses and developing the new input into web development and mapping workshops - Habitat III: participating as an expert guest into the Urban Thinkers Campus UNED-Madrid. I was also presenting CIVICS in Habitat III-Quito in the Spanish pavillion. Following the urban agenda and implementing into our actions. -UIA Projects: lead by the European union, Mares Madrid (where i currently work) is a innovative action which pursue sustainable and innovative responses into jobs and skills with new approaches to public policies.
E.4. Ability to understand specific local situations and adapt tools and content to different local realities: 
CIVICs has always been adapted to local situations. In fact the more than a hundred mapping workshops have been done in more than 30 cities in almost 20 countries so either the condition, participants and the contents have been changing constantly. From the more "social innovation" very connected with the economy sphere (social economy, entrepreneurship, incubation, cowering spaces...) to the more folklore, indigenous, ancestral cultures in some regions of LatinAmercia each workshops shows the urban awareness of their communities varying enormous from gender topics, equity, education, culture, politics, economy, art, urbanism and so on. My role was to transmit that, despite different political, cultural and social context, in which all should be aware and try to understand it, there are some common aspects that we could share into a global digital platform. The digital tool allows each city to show their own emergent and informal agenda whatever the main issues are in the public debate.
Summary Expertise: 
CIVICs, open and interactive digital platform which maps citizen innovation. Citizen Innovation is the process that solves urban and social problems with technologies (digital, social, ancestral) and innovative methodologies, through the involvement of the community affected. This means that citizens are no longer passive receivers of institutional actions, but active producers of their own solutions. Mapping citizen innovation implies thousands of citizens who are working collectively to build a more habitable, sustainable, inclusive and participatory city. Before them, others did the same thing, demanding decent housing, mud-free streets, more communal spaces and basic services. The spaces that appear on thoses maps show the existence of a vibrant city that is often made invisible. Spaces and projects that aim to highlight the power of critical, active citizens who have created new environments of possibility, through self-management and participation. We are firmly committed to the opportunity generated by a citizen-built maps as a mechanism for openness and encounter. Mapping that builds a story that is common to majority of global cities. The mapped initiatives are categorized as: Mutual support and assistance, Urban art, Citizen science, Free culture, Rights and equality, Urban ecology and consumption, Collaborative economy, Expanded education, Mediation and Facilitation, Sustainable mobility, Policy and governance, Urban planning and heritage and Childhood.
