District East is a district that has undergone many urban interventions, in which the construction of houses has been prioritized without taking into account the quality of life of its inhabitants. In recent years there has been a participatory and community process in which an attempt has been made to recover the agency of its neighbors. With this walk we will get to know this steps and the women who are named in its streets.
