"The objective is to create shaded spaces that make them more comfortable, protecting residents from inclement sunlight, in neighborhoods and districts, thus facilitating the enjoyment of the little ones, citizen participation and sociocultural meetings, in addition to increasing the number of effective hours of use by families from Murcia "José Guillén has reportedThe Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration led by José Guillén, continues to implement major projects for new urban green infrastructures, such as the garden located on the Antonio Martínez Guirao highway in Santiago and Zaraiche.In this extensive green area, new metallic hammocks have been installed that make up a new space for all residents.
They are designed under pergola structures that will gradually fill with climbers such as bougainvillea or wistenia, creating an enveloping sensation, providing this garden with more spaces with shadows."The objective is to create shaded spaces that make them more comfortable, protecting residents from inclement sunlight, in neighborhoods and districts, thus facilitating the enjoyment of the little ones, citizen participation and sociocultural meetings, in addition to increasing the number of effective hours of use by families from Murcia "José Guillén has reported.In this way, the City Council works on the installation of more than 160 new tents and shading systems, 50 of which are already a reality, distributed throughout the municipality so that families can enjoy these new spaces at any time of the year.The Foresta Plan allows you to enjoy green areas 24/7Likewise, and in addition to this project, the Foresta Plan, this green area is also being provided with natural shadows.
The Foresta 2020 Plan has the main objective of doubling the number of specimens over the next decade, going from more than 100,000 today to 200,000.The new vegetation represents an increase in the tree stratum to obtain greater diversity and relevance of the space, adding thirty units, allowing residents to enjoy these spaces 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."Trees are the green lungs of our municipality, with each tree we contribute to improving air quality and the environment, we must bear in mind that a tree absorbs up to 150kg of CO2 per year", José Guillén highlighted.In addition, the shrub layer has been increased with new species with little water requirement to 300 m².The incorporation of insect hotels and nest boxes allow creating a biodiversity space for birds of different sizes.The substrate has also been renewed to provide the necessary nutrients to the plants and the irrigation system has been modernized, covering an area of ??1,040 m2, minimizing possible water losses due to evapotranspiration, providing only the necessary water to the plant.The renovation of pavements is also a reality, since a new layer of aggregate of 6,000 m² has been applied
