The paper seeks to contribute to the knowledge and research on how universities can use their resources to build bridges through design and social innovation with their surrounding communities. It is based on the case of the Social Design HUB of CENTRO University in Mexico City and its urban garden project CULTIVA, a joint initiative, based on transversal collaboration and the creation of shared value. The paper informs on the development of CULTIVA as an area for learning and social interaction in a neighborhood with a substantial decline in public space and community life, and shares findings related to participants pro-files, their perceptions and behavior about community life, and the effects of projects and collaborations based on mutual exchange. This work includes an analysis of the scope of the initiative based on The Social Design Pathways Tool.
