RC - Canraso Tudela, Canraso Eco City
The Council of Tudela and other local partners have proposed the project to create a sustainable community in the locality. Canraso, the new neighbourhood of Tudela hopes to become a new reference for the integration of new sustainable renewable technologies.
The Eco-Community of Canraso consists of a community with a very high energy efficiency, designed in accordance with the principles of sustainability and whose realisation is not only limited to the buildings, but also to the integral management of the neighbourhood services as well, including energy, urban renovation and the empowering of Tudela in its role as the second city of Navarra. Thanks to this project, an industrially degraded area will be redeveloped with a surface area of 1,250,000 m2, to convert it into a social, inhabitable space with all kinds of services in which the population will either directly or indirectly be contributing to caring for the environment.
Not only a residential area
Prior to the project, the main lacks and necessities of the Tudela area were detected and analysed, and as a result, the development includes urban parks, boulevards, squares, streets footpaths, sports areas and the public services necessary to transform it into a high quality, varied public space. Canraso is an area where you can live, work, enjoy yourself and learn. In a second phase (2010), there will be a commitment to the creation of an eco-technology park, which will replace the old economy of exhausted business.
