| Sergio Giménez's project proposes a strategy to revitalize the disused spaces between the historic centers and the extensions | A cultural warp to weave urban life between aging historic centers and areas of new expansion is the strategy that the architect Sergio Giménez Fernández proposes for his native Cehegín and other towns in the Northwest of the Region.

The proposal, developed in the project with which he graduated from the UPCT, has earned him the award from the College of Architects for the best Final Study Project by Murcian architects."There is a physical and psychological barrier on the edge of the old town, a void in which the old and the modern urban layout collide," explains the young architect.

His project adapts to the open spaces of the eastern perimeter of Cehegín, an "unused and lifeless space" but close to the town's Gran Vía, and proposes a tour of facilities for cultural use that generate squares and patios to develop activities at the same time.
