How can experiences in cities called "children's cities" contribute to our lives as urban centre
dwellers? Are the views of girls and boys considered when changes of any order are made in cities? These
and other questions guided an interview conversation held at the Associación Taller Abierto, located in the
city of Pontevedra, Spain, in July 2019. From a semi-structured script, the dialogue went freely in which all
those involved went through the theme instigating to think about cities with children. The objective was to
know one of these cities approaching their practices and daily life, as well as those and those that contribute
to the materialization of proposals in which the centrality of children is understood as the keynote of the city.
