URBAN PROPOSALS. Evolution of the planning process from Madrid
The collaboration between CEU University, the UPM School of Architecture and the post graduate course ICHAB in Madrid, provided a great context for continuing the urban reflexion. Here are summarized some of the main approaches and elements of the research made by Adela Salas and Natalia GarcÃa (ICHAB), with the supervision of Luis Perea (CEU):
MAIN GOAL:Make compatible the protection of the areas of greatest value with a sustainable urban and economic development.
The work presented here is the continuation of the process initiated by San Pablo CEU University, the university and the city Unimak. This process includes two participatory forums in the city of Makeni (JULY 2013 and JANUARY 2014).
The model sees Makeni as a central urban node, which growth is proposed considering its surrounding territory. The surrounding urban areas such as Makarie, Masoongbo, Makambo, Panlap, will work in this plan as satellite cities with services attached to them which serve the central node.
The priority actions proposed for this model are defined as follows. These actions have to be approved by Makeni’s civil population, polititians, technicians… and be subsequently checked with those defined at the Development Plan of Makeni (2013-2015)
