With the aim of shedding light on the dynamics that shape daily care practices in the territory, and to contribute to better urban planning and coordination of care-related resources, this project consisted of creating a map of the existing care services and resources in Abrera. The map was accompanied by an analysis and description of the municipality’s physical and urban conditions.
The mapping was part of La Ciutat Invisible’s project “Abrera, municipio cuidador”, an initiative that seeks to promote a town model focused on care, community, and people’s well-being. La Ciutat Invisible commissioned us to collaborate by incorporating a territorial dimension into the services and resources linked to care, responding to both the material and immaterial needs derived from the management and provision of care in a caring city — a concept coined in 2015 by Col·lectiu Punt 6.
Within this framework, the importance of integrating the urban dimension into care becomes evident, offering a territorial perspective that helps to understand how care services are organized and distributed in urban space, and what physical characteristics either facilitate or hinder their development.
