“[MARES de Madrid] is a process of urban innovative transformation for social economy. MARES is an acronym of ‘Mobility’, ‘Alimentación (Food)’, ‘Recycling’, ‘Energy’, and ‘Social and Care Economy’ […] One of the most innovative aspects of the project is the mixture of innovative sectors in different territories within the city […] This process is helping citizen initiatives to be active […] MARES began with five sectors and four districts but we have twenty-one in the city and a lot of topics to be discussed about in the upcoming years.”
