24-30 April 2010 Cáceres, Spain
Cáceres, the most intact medieval quarter of any Spanish city, has been
growing on the west part of its territory turning his back to the walls
of the City. The recent archaeological interpretation of the fortress,
the rediscovery of the old well, and the reactivation of the Silver
Trail create an opportunity to revitalize the land on either sides of
the creek “Ribera de Marco” finding inspiration in history and in the
City identity.
The City Council of Cáceres has invited an INTA Advisory Panel to evaluate and debate on the project of the "Ribera de Marco" area which is part of the strategic development of the City through the definition of the Innovative and Creative Urban Strategic Plan.
A team of 10 international practitionners will focus on the feasibility and the implementation of the project which can be a link between the North and the South of the City (University site on one end and future innovation park close to the old mining town on the other end, that is linking past to future, tradition to innovation, culture to nature) giving territorial coherence and enhancing the potential of renewal regeneration.
