In order to improve the resilience of a neighborhood in the coastal city of San José del Cabo and enhance the citizens’ quality of life, this project rehabilitated a multifunctional, safe, and inclusive public space. The initiative “Our resilient neighborhood” brought together the municipality, the local community and allied organizations for a co-creation process. Through volunteer groups that include women and youth, the initiative developed a multifunctional green space and a community pavilion using local low-emission materials, and also provided capacity building on financial education and first aid. The newly established green infrastructure promotes biodiversity and addresses the water and climate issues in the area by providing watersheds, infiltration, runoff areas and native vegetation. The residents have been encouraged to appropriate the public space through tactical urbanism. The park now provides a space for educational, cultural and sports activities.
