VIAS intends to explore, in an intergenerational approach, the construction of identity paths about Viseu, through dialogue and interactions between people and urban spaces, leading to the (re)discovery of places and the construction of new meanings about the city. VIAS contemplates the development of an application for mobile devices, which will present information on places in the historic center of Viseu with heritage value and on physical activity indicators associated with their exploration. Using this app, children, young people and seniors will have the opportunity to create their stories about and in various places, adding multigenerational layers in multimedia format to the living city. The collaborative exploration of the application will allow developing other senses of belonging to the city, promoting healthy lifestyles and combating the isolation of young and old.
