En este episodio del podcast, exploramos el presente y futuro del Centro Histórico de San José, Costa Rica, a través de una conversación con Andrea Terán, directora de la Fundación Yamuni Tabush, organización que impulsa proyectos sociales y urbanos en el corazón de la ciudad.

Hablamos sobre la evolución del centro, sus momentos de esplendor, y cómo con el paso del tiempo fue perdiendo vitalidad. Andrea comparte una mirada crítica y comprometida sobre los desafíos actuales del casco histórico, como el abandono habitacional, la fragmentación social y la pérdida de vida urbana. También reflexionamos sobre las oportunidades que existen para repensar el centro como un lugar habitable, caminable y seguro, que recupere su rol como espacio de encuentro.

El episodio recorre temas como la activación del espacio público, la importancia del tejido social, el potencial de repoblamiento del centro, y las experiencias impulsadas por la Fundación para integrar a poblaciones mayores, proyectos culturales y propuestas de renovación urbana desde lo local.

Una conversación que conecta la memoria urbana con las posibilidades reales de transformación.
