A neighborhood with history
This district, which has a population of about 6,000 people, was promoted to the late '60s and early' 70s and is a polygon that is structured in a particular way, combining terraced houses of one and two-storey dwelling blocks up to four storeys.
Based on the year of construction, the district is divided into three areas: homes located closer to the center of El Palmar (between Olive Street, Main Street and Calle San Roque) dating from 1969;
the blocks located between the street of Bananas and the Avenue of the Rosales, built in 1972;
and finally, the area further south, built in 1974, limiting to the north with the Avenue of the Rosales, on the west by the Avenue of the apricots and east along Avenida Primero de Mayo, opposite health city of La Arrixaca.
The three distinct areas follow the same urban and architectural structure, where the blocks are arranged in an orthogonal grid that releases small spaces and interior pedestrian streets where vehicles can not access.
All apartment buildings, single-family buildings and have a very recognizable unitary image, with yellow brick facades, cantilevered concrete and covered with steep characteristics.
Moreover, the old neighborhood, coupled with the poor quality of urbanization, means that there are infrastructure problems in the sewer system and common spaces.
The buildings, like many neighborhoods in the sixties and seventies, are of poor quality and over the years have deteriorated badly, causing problems in roofing and cladding, which produces various pathologies of the building.
