Team Point of View
The privileged natural environment of the site, its landscape, the productive potential of its socio-cultural identity offer an extraordinary opportunity for regeneration.
Over the years, urban planning has acted without any respect for the site’s main value and landscape. We propose a project made of the sum of many projects based on dialogue and participation, organized in phases that are self-correcting over time and experience.
The main objective of every action will be to become the landscape, the protagonist of the environment again. We understand as landscape not only the natural values of a place, but also the cultural, economic and social aspects, among others. We want to build a landscape that is adapted to a wide variety of contemporary and future uses and productive elements. From hunger pond to plenty pond.
Jury Point of View
It is an ambitious, yet realistic project. It proposes a series of strategic lines for an integrated recovery of the area, implemented by means of specific policies and actions which set the pace for the process. The development proposed integrates strategies on different scales and a diversity of scenarios such as infrastructure, the roads, regulations, the cultural and educational sphere, etc. The economic, social and environmental factors affecting the area and its inhabitants are taken into account right from the start.
