It should be noted that these programs will be tackled over the years until the end of the calendar of activities planned in the Urban Plan.

On the other hand, if the creation of new spaces and integration programs are vital, so is the cooperation and active participation of neighborhood residents of the Holy Spirit who can intervene directly in the project "active solar" , an initiative that will, from the standpoint of art-making residents can design your own neighborhood.

If the field of European Programmes the flagship project of 2010 is the Urban Plan in the field of culture, there are several peaks that make up the star of 2010.

- The centenary of the birth of Ramón Gaya will of the painter and writer Murcia emblematic character for excellence in 2010.

Besides a broad program of events to be held in the museum that bears his name, from the Department of Culture are scheduled as important actions are:

Almudí Palace will host a major exhibition about the figure of Gaya for a period of three months.

The City Museum will open the year with an exhibition on the painter and writer Murcia.

- The promotion of reading is, without doubt, one of the bets more determined than has been developing in recent years, making the network of municipal libraries the main instrument of cultural proximity and integration of citizens.

This network upgrade will come from the hand of the implementation of the library of James the Greater (reaching nearly 17 libraries in the municipality of Murcia), the reopening of the library of the parish of Cabezo Torres commissioning of the new library of La Alberca (which will change from location to stay in a space with a much larger area and ground floor), and the reform Espinardo library, which is also mentioned in the Urban Plan .

• Creating a website for the Municipal Archives, which will provide citizens with a single click, more than one and half million scanned pages in recent years and will certainly facilitate significantly the activity of researchers.

- The promotion of street activities giving special prominence to the smallest municipality is another important action that will develop in the coming year.

To work on the consolidation of the "Theater", launched in 2009 - and has taken to the streets of Murcia a total of 15 shows, which have had a share greater than the 4,500 people since mid- February to late June.

Under a similar formula in 2010 there will be a novelty in this regard, a program called "Music," which will allow citizens and visitors enjoy good music while walking the streets of Murcia.

The prominence of smaller cultural programming will also be reinforced by actions that are being developed in museums and libraries, among other cultural venues in the municipality, among which we highlight the collaboration with the Pro-Music, which allows almost one hundred young people attend free concerts each season that make their music through the draw for tickets among users of the Municipal Library Network.
