About
I’m a clerk in a council office in the Marina Alta. Day job: appointments, documents, phones. Off the clock: I read planning stuff and make notes about how towns actually work.
When newcitiesfoundation.org was active, I liked their focus on wellbeing, housing, mobility, and environment. The domain lapsed; I bought it. This site isn’t the foundation—no affiliation, no sponsors. It’s a hobby where I try their big themes on small places.
What I do
pick a Marina Alta town and one topic (getting to the health centre, market-day access, shade and seating, small housing fixes)
walk it, time it, count the basic things, take two or three photos
write short notes and one cheap change that would help
go back later and see if anything moved
Scope
Marina Alta first; occasionally I run the same check in nearby cities to compare.
Why this exists
I like planning and I think small improvements stack up. It’s a whim, but a useful one. I don’t expect readers; this is a notebook. (I’m bored)… but it keeps me busy.
