The idea is to try to value the urban theme and fundamentally, the heritage elements that we have in the city, which are very rich. Here we analyze certain buildings, their details, the construction quality and what they represented at the time for the city.”
For her part, María Candela Turrisi, who works in the Urban Code and Urban Planning Division of the municipality, within the Secretariat of Urban Development, expressed: “This is the route that is taken along Santa Fe Boulevard, where we see different buildings, artistic elements, urban screens, commemorative plaques, in order to value all these assets that are the city’s heritage. So we are going to travel from Plaza 25 de Mayo to Jefatura with that objective.”
