parishes Goodbye, goodbye
JOSÉ MANUEL BALBUENA
WHILE we are focusing on the towers to see if Poniente are more or less high, or the aesthetics of the whole plan is right track for the occasion, is a movement that will forever change urban largely of our rural parishes.
Last week [03/06/2008 ] knew how a development plan will definitely affect one of them: Cabueñes.
It is intended to draw a four-lane road that will connect directly to a branch of the motorway at Deva and develop no less than 254,000 meters square of land.
Similarly, both single-family homes will be located as blocks in height in addition to equipment such as, for example, a hotel and offices.
will understand that the emergence of all this change mean final set of Cabueñes and Deva parishes as we know them today, ie, such preferably rural environment, to move to be as urban as I do not know, or Viesques Montevil.
But apart from this performance, we also learned of another private initiative involving large. For the sake of a similar process, the parish known undergo a major transformation in their lands adjacent to the highway Minera. We therefore plan to relocate to another rural environment should be preserved for the enjoyment of citizens, making, simply, in a vial with 1,200 homes and some other commercial equipment attached. And here, if you ask me, the thing is even more ridicule, since the nearby parish of Vega, was retained in the new urban plan restricting their buildable while Granda, you see, it's up to digest all that urban galore.
The conclusion, in my view, can not be clearer: the rural parishes as we know them today will disappear. Do not quite understand this urban frenzy that makes the city grow in environments that should be retained as the natural lung.
Moreover, think of a centuries-old cavalier like Granda surrounded by buildings, or the wonderful array of the church, the source and sink of Deva with office blocks.
ask, is that perhaps what we want? Published
