The Ministry of Public Works and Planning funded the works to create a public space of 11,000 square meters in the town of Eagle, said the general director of Planning and Housing, Antonio Navarro, will be a "new lung green for the town. "
"The works, which are being implemented, will mean the creation of a meeting place for citizens through a public space that enhances the presence of water and vegetation in the urban environment of the municipality, which will contribute to greater quality of life of the aquiline and the thousands of visitors who flock to this coastal town each year, "said the CEO.
The work, funded by the Autonomous Community with more than 363,000 euros, is part of the aid program for the 'public spaces Conditioning' with the regional government contributes to the recovery of integrated spaces of city life.
It is a triangular space between the streets of Solidarity, Blasco Ibáñez Avenue and Our Lady of Fatima, which has softened the ground, which showed a drop of ten meters, to promote accessibility.
The project promotes the presence of water, through three shallow ponds, as a sheet of water.
One of the ponds are located in the upper zone, from where it drives the water through canals, to the other two lagoons located on the bottom.
The vegetation is another key element of this action, which respects the existing trees and where appropriate to add more native plants such as lavender, thyme or rosemary.
The presence of water and vegetation contribute to the creation of a micro-ecosystem able to vary the temperature up to five degrees.
"It has harnessed the natural state of this plot to make it a place of recreation, leisure and recreation within the urban layout, and a space that fosters the relationship between citizens and nature," he said Navarro.
