Sustainable urban development in Zaragoza Spain (Eco Ciudad Valdespartera)

[alforddatgould]

I frequently drove by this area when I lived in Zaragoza last year. It is a concrete wasteland, most of the apartments are unoccupied, it is horribly ugly, and far from anywhere one might want to go in Zaragoza. The city center is beautiful, and the neighborhoods around it are reasonably nice too, but this area is (to me) the ugliest part of the city BY FAR.

@edurne1 there are few trees because zaragoza is in the summer like a desert.

@NicoandLG There are trees and plants for every sort of environment and climate, I do like that they pay attention to alternative ways of transport, that's a good thing! But they give an unreal image of the area...

But I can't really judge about that, haven't been there so :)

@Hallomijnnaamisjo Our mayor is retarded, and hates spending money on gardening. The area is horrible, I live in Zaragoza. The mayor is a socialist, and Valdespartera looks like communist Russia, very similar flats everywhere, given to people cheaper than a normal building just to gain votes for the elections.. Horrible. He also fucked up the traffic building a tramway. If you wan't to see a beautiful city don't come to Zaragoza. Go to Madrid.
