Students of two courses of Architecture of the UPCT have carried out different projects redesigning the surroundings of the Lo Pagán explanda, proposing housing alternatives for the Colonia de San Esteban, and devising a space for celebrations in El Mojón.
The town councilors of Urbanism, Pedro Javier Sánchez, and Participación Ciudadana, Fuensanta García, have received today this group of students, who have visited the town to know first hand the spaces they are working on.
In addition, the technicians of both councils have given a talk on the importance of participatory processes in the development of urban plans, in the Baron de Benifayó museum.
New pedestrian zones, recovering the original layout of the beach or inflatable structures that reinterpret the language of fairground attractions, have been some of the varied results that students have suggested in their projects for the area of ​​Villananitos and Lo Pagán.
In the second exercise, the students have reflected on the fact that young people, in order to find a home, have to travel to the outskirts of the city and for this they have developed housing alternatives in the neighborhood of San Esteban.
The third and last site in which they have worked, is a space close to the El Mojon and Las Salinas desalination plant, where they must design a space for celebrations that in turn serves to highlight the attractive landscape of this part Township.
