The Polytechnic University of Madrid and the Torrevieja City Council have signed an agreement to work together to analyse and come up with a plan for the future of the Administrative City in the region around the current City Hall.
The City Council said in a statement that the agreement, which has a budget of 54,450 euros and is due to be paid in the 2025 fiscal year, shows the City Council’s commitment to “strategic planning, institutional collaboration, and applied innovation, laying the foundations for a modern, functional administrative structure designed for direct service to citizens.”
He went on to say that all of this will help them work together to come up with a global vision that includes the old City Hall, the current municipal building, and the new municipal properties that have been acquired in the area. This will create “a coherent, functional administrative complex adapted to the present and future needs of the city.”
The area of action is the area made up of the old Town Hall building, the existing municipal building, and a new building that will be built in the back, with access from Clemente Gosálvez Street. There will be a thorough analysis of this property that will be used as the basis for the project “Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Connection of the Torrevieja City Administrative Complex.” The goal is to organise, connect, and increase the worth of all the city’s legacy.
Domingo Paredes, the Councillor for Heritage, said that “Torrevieja needs to rigorously plan the growth of its administration,” because “we are providing more and more services, have more staff, and serve a larger population.” This agreement lets us think about the City Hall of the future, unifying spaces, highlighting our historical heritage, and making the administrative environment more accessible and efficient for citizens.
Research and suggestions
Under this agreement, faculty and students in the Interior Design Degree programme at the Polytechnic University of Madrid will work together to create academic, non-executive studies and proposals that focus on how buildings are organised, how spaces connect, interior design, building systems, and making the user experience better. There will be no professional help or oversight on these projects, and they will not be technical construction projects in any way.
Paredes went on to say that “the goal is to make it easier for residents to use city services, cut down on unnecessary travel, cut down on red tape, and bring together most of the processes that are now spread out in one administrative environment.”
The statement ends by stressing that the Polytechnic University of Madrid has a long history of teaching projects that involve the restoration and regeneration of public and administrative spaces. This guarantees “an innovative, rigorous approach aligned with the real needs of local administrations.”
