Del suelo industrial al territorio productivo: producción local, creatividad y derechos colectivos ¿Y si la regeneración urbana no solo tratara de reutilizar espacios abandonados, sino de **transformar la ciudad en un territorio productivo**? Esta jornada propone replantear el eje del Besòs como un espacio donde industria, cultura e infraestructura comunitaria se entrelazan, impulsando modelos alternativos de desarrollo urbano. El Besòs no es un lienzo vacío: es un paisaje con historia industrial, actualmente tensionado por dinámicas inmobiliarias, retos ambientales y procesos de transición económica. Pero también es un espacio de **innovación emergente**, donde ecosistemas industriales circulares y espacios de producción ciudadana y creatividad muestran nuevas posibilidades para la ciudad. Ubicado en un territorio de transición metropolitana, entre Barcelona (distrito de Sant Martí), Sant Adrià de Besòs y Santa Coloma de Gramenet, el Besòs se configura como un corredor estratégico donde confluyen escalas urbanas, sociales y productivas. Esta condición lo convierte en un laboratorio clave para imaginar futuros urbanos más inclusivos, resilientes y distribuidos. En este contexto, el encuentro se alinea con la iniciativa **[Barcelona Capital Mundial de la Arquitectura 2026 (UNESCO-UIA)](https://www.barcelona.cat/capitalmundialarquitectura/es "https://www.barcelona.cat/capitalmundialarquitectura/es")**, que propone extender el debate sobre arquitectura, urbanismo y paisaje a todos los barrios de la ciudad. Más allá de los centros tradicionales, el Besòs emerge como un territorio fundamental para repensar cómo la arquitectura y el urbanismo pueden activar procesos productivos, fortalecer comunidades y abrir nuevas formas de habitar y producir en la ciudad. Desde Territorio Besós, Fab Lab Barcelona (IAAC) y la Red Ensemble os invitamos a un diálogo sobre estas trayectorias, explorando cómo la producción puede ser **actividad económica, derecho colectivo, práctica cultural y estrategia territorial**. La mesa de debate incluirá ponentes representantes del sector creativo del Besòs, iniciativas públicas sobre regeneración urbana en la zona, expertos en urbanismo participativo y representantes institucionales y responsables de políticas públicas, aportando una mirada plural que conecte práctica, política y ciudadanía. ### **Objetivos del encuentro:** * Replantear la regeneración urbana desde la perspectiva del suelo productivo y la capacidad manufacturera. * Explorar el Besòs como laboratorio metropolitano de producción circular y distribuida. * Conectar estrategias institucionales, actores industriales y espacios de producción cívica. * Identificar mecanismos políticos y espaciales para apoyar y estabilizar ecosistemas productivos. * Abrir una conversación pública sobre el derecho a producir en la ciudad. Este encuentro quiere ser también un espacio abierto de intercambio: invitamos a todas las personas participantes a compartir sus ideas, experiencias y visiones para imaginar colectivamente el futuro productivo del Besòs. ### ### **Encuentro Territori Besòs** 📅 6 **de mayo** 🕢 **18:30h – 21:30h** 📍 **The Social Hub Barcelona** **🔗Reserva tu plaza a través del [enlace](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/besos-productivo-territorio-creativo-industria-y-futuros-circulares-tickets-1986903446695?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true)**

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

**Building a great product is one thing—building momentum behind it is another.** Join **Senior Product Manager Adam Solaiman** and **User Experience Manager Tyson Smith** for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn complex ideas into scalable products inside large organizations. In this session, they’ll share how teams move from ambiguity to execution—navigating organizational complexity, aligning stakeholders, and continuously evolving products after launch. You’ll walk away with insights on how to: * Build and sustain momentum across teams * Adapt to changing priorities without losing direction * Scale products thoughtfully in complex environments Whether you're driving a new initiative or growing an existing product, this conversation will give you practical strategies to keep things moving forward. Come connect, learn, and swap stories with fellow product professionals. \-\-\- Food and drinks will be provided by Switchbox, our generous host. Free parking will be available at the front and back sides of the Switchbox Office.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

We will show how to build custom agents with Microsoft Agent Framework. Attendees will learn how to build and custom host agents when Microsoft Foundry is not a viable option.
