The area headed by councilman Antonio Navarro also places as a priority the development of the new environmental model and environmental sustainability.

The underground of the railroad, plans for regeneration of the urban fabric, landscape protection and environmental recovery of the river Segura and irrigation ditches are some projects highlighted by Antonio Navarro.

The Department of Urbanism, Environment and Huerta, directed by Antonio Navarro, will focus in the coming months on actions aimed at three specific objectives: lay the foundations of a municipality that regains its territorial identity, continue with the development of the action plan The orchard and the Murcia River project and deepen the environmental sustainability of the municipality.

The budget that will manage this area, excluding personnel costs, amounts to € 5,879,027 million, of which more than half, specifically € 3.3 million - 56.4% - will be used for investments.

Of these, the service of Huerta will have 1.3M € and a little more than 1 M € the Urbanism service.

To fulfill the objectives proposed, Navarro has detailed the five pillars on which to base the management of the coming months to 'make reality the new model of city that we are pushing from the Government Team to transform and modernize the municipality 'Explained Antonio Navarro.

These strategic lines are:

- Arrival of the high speed underground to the city, for which € 50,000 is expected in the budgets, which are included in the 4.2 M € retained last year in remnants.

- Obtaining soil for free spaces and endowments.

- Drafting of special plans for the protection, management and regeneration of the urban fabric, for which 400,000 € are budgeted, with actions planned in Monteagudo, Cabezo de Torres and Las Lumbreras, among others.
