However, the proposed strategy is based mainly on the participation of actors from the world of business and industry, relegating social actors to a peripheral level of its implementation. Additionally, the region is experiencing an important process of floating population in which we can identify different groups: students, expats, tourists and commuters. This process is influencing trends of gentrification, ethnic segregation, and suburbanization and is expected going to increase in the future. The project that we propose seeks to connect communities and material chains from an integrated approach, social and economical. The project is based on the incorporation of the students through the region as a pioneer group for sustainable, economic and social development. Students represent a social capital that is necessary for the development of the region. However, at the same time they are a group that currently is experiencing vulnerability and lack of integration. In this way, through a multi-scale study and an urban acupuncture strategy, the location of this group is projected into strategic areas in order to encourage social sustainability and inclusive economic development.
