Introducing Jaime Sánchez Albardíaz and Senihzem Gezgin New Energy for Karatasou Park
Karatasou Park has always needed more than attention. It needs care, memory, research, and new ideas that can help people imagine what the space can become. This is why we are so happy to welcome two volunteers into our history line: Jaime Sánchez Albardíaz and Senihzem Gezgin.
Their work brought fresh energy to our activities and helped us look at the park from two connected angles: the physical space and the social story behind it.

Jaime Sánchez Albardíaz explored planning ideas for the park
Jaime Sánchez Albardíaz focused mainly on Karatasou Park and urban planning ideas. His contribution helped us think more clearly about how the park works as a public space.
Urban planning is not only about paths, trees, and benches. It is also about movement, access, safety, comfort, and everyday use. Jaime looked at the park as a living place, one that can support different needs if it is studied with care.

Senihzem Gezgin studied the social story of Karatasou Park
Senihzem Gezgin worked on a sociological meta-analysis of what has already happened to Karatasou Park and what its potentials may be. This kind of work is essential because parks are never only physical places. They carry memories, conflicts, hopes, and shared experiences.
By looking at the social side of the park, Senihzem helped us understand the wider meaning of the space. Who has used it? What has changed? What stories still need to be heard? What future can grow from what already exists?
This approach adds depth to every discussion about the park. It reminds us that any future plan should respect both the place and the people connected to it.

Their work gave new breath to our activities
Jaime and Senihzem came from different angles, but their contributions met in the same place. One studied the park through space and planning. The other studied it through society and memory.
Together, they helped us see Karatasou Park with more clarity. Their work supports future thinking that is both practical and human.
We are grateful for their time, attention, and care. Volunteer work like this may not always be visible at first glance, but it leaves a real mark. It helps build stronger foundations for future activities, conversations, and decisions.

Thank you, Jaime and Senihzem
We warmly thank Jaime Sánchez Albardíaz and Senihzem Gezgin for giving new breath to our activities around Karatasou Park.
Their contributions remind us that care for a public space begins with listening, studying, imagining, and working together. Karatasou Park has a past, a present, and many possible futures. Thanks to their work, we can look at those futures with more confidence.
