More Information
SITE / CONTEXT
Navalmoral de la Mata is a municipality located in the northeast of the province of Cáceres, in the region of Extremadura. It enjoys a privileged location, at a crossroads that connects it directly with other cities, including Madrid and Lisbon. The A5 (Madrid-Lisbon) and the EX-A1 to Portugal (which in turn connects with the A66 and links Oviedo with Seville) pass through it. In this way, the journey time by road is 2 hours to Madrid and Badajoz, and 3 hours to Seville. The Madrid-Lisbon railway line also passes through the town, a line which is currently under construction for the high-speed train.
The implementation of the significant industrial and logistics centre Expacio Navalmoral, the construction and operation of the high-speed railway line and the simultaneous creation of new residential areas are causing a major transformation, not only on a socio-economic level, but also on an urban and territorial one.
QUESTIONS TO THE COMPETITORS
The action should qualify the empty spaces generated after different interventions, as well as the last ADIF layout (in execution), by integrating them as green areas, leisure spaces, etc. that act as strategic landmarks or points of interest in its development, as well as the study of mobility between the areas of residential growth (Los Viñazos) and the new industrial area. The identification of the areas in the project site is only a non-exhaustive compilation of degraded areas or areas considered to be susceptible to being taken into account for inclusion as part of the project area in the proposals to be developed, with the possibility of their extension, correction or qualification.
Could existing empty spaces be re-qualified?
Could the spaces separated by the high-speed line be re-connected? Could the mobility of the municipality be re-arranged?
Questions on the site
With regard to the intervention on the high-speed rail lines, should the tracks be kept on the surface, or can the proposals envisage partially or totally burying the tracks? Respecto a la intervención en las líneas del tren de alta velocidad, ¿las vías deben mantenerse en superficie, o las propuestas pueden plantear soterrar parcial o totalmente dichas vías?
The train tracks must be considered as an existing infrastructure, the burying of which is not contemplated in the current works project. The proposals must start from this premise and assume the presence of the tracks on the surface. One of the objectives is precisely to explore creative strategies for their integration.
Las vías del tren deben considerarse como una infraestructura existente, cuyo soterramiento no está contemplado en el proyecto de obras en curso. Las propuestas deben partir de esta premisa y asumir la presencia del trazado en superficie. Uno de los objetivos es, precisamente, el de explorar estrategias creativas para su integración.
Is the complete project developed by ADIF expected to be published? And with regard to this project, is it possible to modify the track crossings proposed by ADIF, or can only new additional crossings be proposed? ¿Está previsto que se publique el proyecto completo desarrollado por ADIF? Y en relación con dicho proyecto, ¿existe la posibilidad de modificar los cruces de vías que plantea ADIF, o únicamente se pueden proponer nuevos pasos complementarios?
With regard to the project, the latest version of the project has been requested from the City Council, as changes have been introduced since the initial processing. We would be in a position to upload the document we have. As for the crossings, in view of the progress of the works, it is reasonable to consider them in terms of complementary connections or improvements to the planned ones.
Respecto al proyecto, se ha solicitado al Ayuntamiento la última versión de este, por haberse introducido cambios desde la tramitación inicial. Estaríamos en disposición de subir el documento que tenemos nosotros. En cuanto los cruces, a la vista del avance de las obras, lo razonable es plantearlo en términos de conexiones complementarias o mejora de los proyectados.
In terms of land use, is it possible to propose a change in the current use of some plots of land for future development? En cuanto a los usos del suelo, ¿se puede proponer un cambio en el uso actual de algunas parcelas de cara al futuro desarrollo?
Respuesta afirmativa. Procede incluso advertir que está en ciernes la revisión del instrumento de planeamiento general, lo que favorece cualquier reconsideración de usos existente.
The answer is yes. It should also be noted that the revision of the general planning instrument is in the pipeline, which favours any reconsideration of existing uses.
This site is connected to the following theme
Re-sourcing from social dynamic A missing layer of urbanity is added on a territory with underlying complexities. In all these large sites, the question is how inhabit them, how to relate to them, how to add a human ecosystem while negotiating the pros and cons of the existing complexity. It may be to reconsider an urban interrupted development, to care wounds left or created by old or new infrastructures; to regenerate sub-standard housing or the damage left behind a brownfield, to reconsider a river or former agricultural fields.
