How Must Metabolism and Inclusivity Be Developed and Connected?
We propose a reflection to complexify the industrial activity by hosting new residential uses. In the Torrent de l’Estadella we find a case of urban recycling. Breaking with the ghetto effect of a monothematic neighborhood will be the priority objective of a transformation that determines a process of actions where answers can be found. A second objective will be to establish a debate between urbanism and contemporary habitat. We hope to generate a renovating landscape where we can find economic opportunities, synergies and offer value-added services. At the same time it exemplifies some urban codes that help us define a more livable city.
