Experts from the Urban Research Laboratory, coordinated by Professor Marcos Ros, will work together with the municipal technicians.
The agreement will allow knowing the current situation of the municipality, as well as monitoring the degree of adequacy of the General Plan to the socioeconomic circumstances.
The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, and the rector of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT), Alejandro Díaz, have signed the agreement that establishes the bases for carrying out the technical tasks necessary for the revision of the Municipal General Plan of Ordination ( PGMO).
It is a document that will enable researchers of the UPCT to analyze and diagnose, in collaboration with the technicians of the Lorca City Council, the Generaly Plan and propose a model of urban and territorial development with a view to its future revision.
The Mayor said that this work has the fundamental premise of putting urbanism at the service of citizens.
We are talking about reformulating the PGMO, adjusting it to the reality of the citizens, to the practical and daily needs of the people, contemplating the concretion of those changes that are necessary to enable the sustainable, orderly and real growth of our municipality.
The projections of the moment in which it was written have been totally obsolete and outdated, and Lorca need a text according to the current needs of all citizens.
In fact, it is needed from all points of view;
industrial, residential, districts, land management ...
The Mayor has stressed that the New Lorca we are raising together requires us to provide an effective General Plan, free from the shackles of the past, and that definitively stop calculations and forecasts that were made at the time something of the real estate bubble, and that They have served or will serve in future.
It is time for this plan to be updated.
We must remember that it is a document that came into force in 2003, and that has undergone 72 modifications over the past 15 years.
These have been derived, mainly, by the need to adapt the PGMO to the current regulations, in addition to the already known urban agreements.
This text, for example, contemplated multiple developments established with a four-year periodicity that have not been fulfilled.
The rector explained that this agreement is added to the long list of agreements with municipalities in the Region, through which we transfer to society the knowledge, in this case in urban matters, of our researchers.
The analysis of the researchers will be carried out during the next twelve months and will lay the foundations for the preparation of a new General Plan for Urban Planning.
Experts from the Urban Research Laboratory of the UPCT, coordinated by Professor Marcos Ros, will work jointly with municipal technicians of the City Council.
The agreement will serve to know the current urban and urban situation of the municipality, as well as the monitoring of the degree of adequacy of the General Plan to the socioeconomic circumstances.
The works will establish the fundamental directives of action for the future to adapt the urbanistic strategy of the municipality to the urban, territorial, social and economic reality of Lorca.
The estimated total duration of the collaboration agreement is two years, one for the preparation of the work and another for the tasks of dissemination and dissemination of the results of the research (congresses, conferences, publications and exhibitions).
It should be noted that similar R & D & I jobs have also been entrusted to the Polytechnic by the municipalities of Mula and Fuente Álamo.
In addition, the experts of the Polytechnic are finalizing an investigation on the urban and environmental situation of the municipality of Murcia.
In the case of the City of Lorca up to seven research teams of the UPCT already worked between 2013 and 2015 conducting a groundbreaking study of Seismic Microzonation, the first at the municipal level that was made in Spain.
The total term of execution of the described objectives is estimated in 12 months, from the administrative formalization of the agreement.
The total estimated duration of the collaboration agreement is 2 years, leaving the margin between the completion of the work (12 months) and the conclusion of the agreement, dedicated to the tasks of dissemination and dissemination of research results (conferences, conferences, conferences, publications and any other material), contemplated in the articles of the agreement itself.
The signing of the collaboration agreement between the City Council and the R + D + i Group of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) called Urban Research Laboratory (LIUrb), aims to perform research, data collection, advice and documentation of the works necessary to carry out an analysis and diagnosis of the development of the Municipal General Management Plan (PGMO) of Lorca, as well as environmental analysis of the uses of the territory and activities carried out since its approval.
The result of this analysis and diagnosis will indicate the conclusions of the urban and environmental information and will determine a proposal of the urban and territorial development model and general determinations.
All this will shape the preliminary and preparatory work for the revision of the General Plan of Lorca, where by means of the diagnosis and conclusions to be made, the strategic lines of action for the future that serve as the basis for the design of an urban and environmental policy appropriate to the municipal term of Lorca.
A review to "turn the page" and offer solutions to Lorca.
The procedure, begun more than 21 years ago of the revision of the current PGMO in force, in very variable socioeconomic conditions throughout the time elapsed, in which two periods can be identified, 2001-2008 of economic expansion, and 2009-2016 of deep economic and real estate crisis, motivate the interest of the Consistory to establish a methodology that allows the current urban analysis of the municipality, as well as the degree of development of the PGMO, in order to know the level of adequacy of its forecasts, information necessary to initiate the process of reviewing it.
This work will serve to jointly design a methodology of analysis and diagnosis, which allows the knowledge of the current urban and urban situation of the municipality, as well as the monitoring of the degree of adequacy of the Lorca PGMO to the new current socioeconomic circumstances, including the follow-up of all its modifications, of its urban development plans, and of the current state of the planning instruments.
Considering the particular dispersion of population nuclei that our municipality presents, and the problems detected in the convenience of the different uses, it is necessary to carry out a particular diagnosis, which allows detecting incidences on the environment in order to provide sustainable environmental responses in the future revision of the General Plan.
To this end, the impact on the environment of urban transformations in low-density sectors will be evaluated and, where appropriate, monitoring of the environmental actions established in each area can be carried out through the Environmental Impact Studies of Partial Plans developed in areas of developable land without delimitation of sectors.
It is also expected to monitor and evaluate the direct or indirect environmental impact of residential building in the garden, as well as to do the same with the environmental and urban dynamics of the districts, in particular of the districts linked to the garden sector and the coast area.
The research team will be made up of different professors and researchers from the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, who have previous experience in R + D + i activities in urban planning carried out in recent years in collaboration with different municipalities in the Region of Murcia such as: San Pedro del Pinatar, Murcia and Mula.
The responsible researcher who will be responsible for coordinating the research tasks will be Marcos Ros Sempere, Architect (2000) from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), and Doctor (2005) from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), as well as Vice-Chancellor of Campus and Sustainability of the UPCT, and Contracted Professor of the Area of ​​Urban Planning and Territorial Planning of the UPCT.
He is the Researcher in charge of the R + D + i Group "Urban Research Laboratory", and the Principal Investigator of the Research Project: "Contemporary Migrations and Residential Fractionation".
Author of several articles in scientific publications and communications to congresses on the "Changes in land use in the Huerta de Murcia, 1928-2015".
