Two new urban development actions, which will be developed entirely by Sepes, will transform the North of Palencia: one capable of holding more than 1,500 homes, of which 83 per cent would be protected, and other industrial space to settle up to 170 companies. In total, almost a million of square meters of soil. The project, which will transform the North of the city, seeks to integrate the productive activity and urban life

Pedro Saura, director-general of Sepes, entity state of soil attached to the Ministry of public works, he appeared along with the Mayor of the town, Heliodoro Gallego Cuesta, to explain the bases to govern these two performances. According to Saura, this project "will be an example of what is known as urban integration, more rational and sustainable ways of developing new ground in our cities". In this case, the planning seeks to incorporate into the new urban space, on the one hand, the newest techniques of energy efficiency, and on the other hand, very healthy and already frequent uses between the palentinos, as the displacement on foot or by bicycle, spaces for coexistence, or buildings with porches to protect themselves from the winter of the plateau. "The goal is to keep those same customs in a new space that does not break the usual dynamics of citizens, but on the contrary: prolonging the city and its quality of life, that plays the best of their characteristic features", has expressed.

In the operation, Sepes has planned an investment of more than 70 million euros, of which about 30 will be allocated to the development of residential land and the rest, to develop industrial land. 1,583 Housing provided for in the residential area may exceptionally reach the 1,800 if it is necessary to build more housing young (50 to 70 square meters). 83 Per cent will be housing. The soil aimed at business activities will have a density of 340.931 square meters and capacity estimated for some 170 enterprises.

From now on, each of the areas of action follows its own pipeline, although so far the entire operation has been drafted jointly to ensure a more harmonious.

Pedro Saura defines the project as "urban integration, more rational and sustainable ways of developing new ground in our cities"

An integrated urban model

The new Palencia North will combine both activities, residential and economic, under the criterion of integration. This involves a substantial change to the type of urban development more frequently in the news, which secretes the productive area of the residential, what has been shown clearly unsustainable for several reasons. Said Saura, "segregate activities requires to create infrastructure of transport with a huge environmental impact, and as a result, obliges motorized displacement that we refer to an obsolete model of mobility." "How to reverse that trend so that one can walk to work, or by bicycle as they already do many palentinos, is the model that we call urban integration".

An industrial space away from the town centre is also more prone to deteriorating socially and environmentally, and become obsolete within a period less than productive spaces in cities. "The premature obsolescence of these spaces forces us to consume soil and other non-renewable resources", and added: "To avoid it, is born this another city, friendly and sustainable model, which will learn other".

Energy efficiency and institutional cooperation

Planning expected a long series of energy efficiency measures fruit of the collaboration between the City Council of Palencia, the Institute for diversification and energy saving (IDAE) and Sepes. Measures such as the choice of edificatorias types to ensure the greatest number of Sun hours in winter and ventilation in summer; the reservation of land for refuelling of plug-in electric vehicles; spaces for the parking of bicycles in all buildings; limitation of the length of the streets to prevent vehicles to exceed the 30 kilometres per hour; and the introduction of a system of production and distribution of thermal energy that gives service throughout the district, as well as the use of LED lighting in lighting to ensure that the neighborhood will bring the least possible environmental impact.
