With the coronavirus Teleworking is established, but being constantly at home is not viable for many. Madrid wants to provide some of its public spaces with WiFi, and enable study areas.
Having outdoor work and study areas with pergolas, tables and Wi-Fi is one of the projects that Madrid City Council is going to carry out. The idea that has been presented this week to revitalize the parks and public areas of the city. The idea is to help make the New Normal more bearable for workers and students.
WiFi for Madrid residents set up by the Madrid City Council
This is a measure planned in the government programme of the current municipal team with the opposition, which defines these spaces as "agoras". The inhabitants of Madrid will be able to go to these spaces to work or meet in a group around a project without having to go through a closed work room or a library. Clearly designed to avoid contagion, given that it is precisely in closed and work spaces where contagion between people is easier.
This proposal is part of a broader list that also includes the creation of "superblocks": a project that proposes closing several streets to traffic to create pedestrian spaces, the reconversion of public spaces such as school playgrounds and plots of land for residential use, and the definition of new pedestrian priority areas. But what stands out most is access to public internet for Madrid residents.
These pacts will be definitively approved in an extraordinary plenary session next Tuesday, July 7. From then on, the project will begin so that there is WiFi in various public points in Madrid. We imagine that many Madrilenians will take the opportunity to leave their homes and breathe air while still going to their appointment with him. teleworking.
And it is not unreasonable that we say that it can benefit teleworking. Many appreciate the not having to get up early or get ready and the privacy of not having to be in an office surrounded by people. But the reduced human contact and being constantly in the same house, derived from teleworking, can cause mental damage to many workers.
