INCORPORATION OF OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS
Based on the workshops, eight projects submitted
by the residents were approved, but these have also
been used to resolve some more profound problems
that required coordination between several stake-
holders. In exchanges with the residents, common
themes were identified to be addressed across the
entire area.
As a result of the identification of these common
problems, the Foundation brought in various public
agencies to work on projects that respond to the
needs of various communities. Magdalena Ibáñez,
President of the UPM Foundation, explains that “the
Foundation has received various projects developed
by the residents of these communities, but it also
played a key role as a coordinator, acting as a brid-
ge between public or private bodies and the local
representatives”.
