Park of the Old Landfill

The proposed park is built as an open system that will change over time. Establishes connections and access, with the outside and between its own units, from urban to natural, and formalizes as an ecological infrastructure and ecosystem services. The park will have optimal environmental performance, contributing to the sewing of the nearby ecosystem network, mitigating pollution and noise, functioning as a carbon sink, and activating the population, improving public well-being.

This project understands the importance of fostering the potential of the present ecosystems and developing their capacity to house the plant and animal species that are native to them. Ecosystems will be recreated that, in the future, will be able to self-regulate and provide the necessary ecosystem services specific to each environment. Over time, these ecosystems will become part of the city, accessible to all citizens to provide them with the benefits of the natural environment.

As a project strategy, it is proposed to maintain and enhance the current landscape units, improving the quality of the soils and through the incorporation of herbaceous, shrub, and tree substrates. Only in some cases, related to the new activities planned in the park, is something different proposed than what already exists. We propose an authentic and native forest; varied and diverse; dynamic and changing over time; powerful and unique; accessible, on both large and small scales; and urban and wild.

The proposal will establish general guidelines, although these will address specific issues. It does not aim for a finished and complete project. It incorporates the passage of time as essential material and proposes itself as a succession of distinct projects, in which the needs of citizens intersect with the demands of the natural condition of vegetation and fauna to thrive successfully in a sustainable manner.
