Description: 

The main criterion followed when designing this proposal are the following:

• Maintain the continuity of the “industrial axis” Huelva – San Juan.
• Improve the urban landscape in the main access to the city.
• Solve the contour problems with the existing and future industrial areas and with the pre-existing services.
• Ensure physical and visual protection of the riverbed and the existing roads.
• Improve A-5000 road’s track  (in line with what was suggested in the Overall Planning) converting he stretch that goes from Fortiz Industrial Park to the Outer Round into an urban high-capacity road.  Once the track has been finished, current and future additions to the same will be solved.
• Solve the territorial compatibility of the intended commercial, residential, and industrial uses.
• Provide the city with two rare and necessary residential products (single-family dwellings and/or terraced housing on an independent plot and state subsidized dwellings)
• Provide the city with land for large public services.
• Provide the city with a large public space big enough to be considered a Metropolitan Park. It will be located in the south of the area, next to the city and in the residential area with the highest density.
• Design a high quality public transport network to connect the new development with the existing city. A bicycle network will also be designed.
• Provide the neighbourhood with a high number of public services such as schools, civic centres, social centres, nurseries, etc.
• Enhance the presence of nature in the proposal, giving the new neighbourhood a high number of parks and gardens. A big amount of public space for pedestrians will be added.
• Integrate the high voltage power lines in the proposal, keeping their aerial layout.
