Thus, through the process of the production of affects in the intensities zones, multiplicities, heterogeneities and singularities of space allowed to vibrate all who approached to engage in a libertarian spatial proposal in the microspaces of resistance, activating them, promoting social invisibilities and, in this way, empower the healthy city.
