This city is featured by its precarious recreational and leisurial infrastructure. Chamilpa is among the top of social outcast levels in the city. Data was collected through a questionnaire applied among attendees of the ARTEMAT festival. Results provide empirical evidence for supporting that performing mathematics activities on public spaces, increases the perception of security and improve the social cohesion.
