Again we undertake the pleasant task to comment on the contents of Catalog City Urban Benavente.
Before, we note that recently appeared in the provincial press article on the need felt by the team of city government on a case by case basis a series of buildings that are outside management or who have disagreed with the determination of planning included in the General Plan 2007.
can say that is a step forward with the urban impasse which has hung on the town. Comment in this regard, that courage is needed to address a number of gaps in the instrument, not only in the real estate, and that plague the few private investments that may be proposed. It is well known, there are other more fundamental factors that influence directly in the economic blockade, however, passivity is not a good tool with which to undertake, within the measure of the ability of each Administration.
Without further ado and roundabout we go to study Urban Catalog tab.
These a building numbered to 60 (2) within the General Plan Urban catalog of Benavente. The location is centrally located in the Calle Zamora # 31 in a narrow sections of roads and buildings in an environment of limited scope, mainly self-constructed, giving the appearance of a people even today.
This is the comment that we expose by UDB.
Again we have a protective case excessive. As you can see from reading and viewing of text and image of the information about the catalog, it is a building considered as an exponent of Art Nouveau and a popular type.
Before considering each and every one of the protective order to make an excursus we referred to the social projection of urban development. The reason for this circumlocution is the need that exists today, of bringing people to planning and further understanding or understanding by the latter.
The intimate relationship between housing, constitutional law, with other urban functions should qualify any distinction between urban, regional planning and housing, should lead to an understanding the same not only as a physical support or housing but also as the urban environment in which it is integrated. The profound relationship between these aspects are being collected and recognized by the different regional laws today.
The urban planning seems to be to ensure a proper urban environment that allows and boost social cohesion and due process does not provide social exclusion or fracture, which makes incorporating the need to avoid segregated phenomena affect the peaceful coexistence and, more markedly, in particular vulnerable groups that are shown.
is why we call the attention of our local leaders to impress upon the importance of good urban development in a desirable location and involvement of citizens in decisions regarding this public activity. Not reduced this activity to the development of policies designed to achieve certain accessibility for pedestrians, or more stringent treatment of traffic, but it is essential to the apprehension of the term and meaning of the word planning as a whole without visions partial or biased.
Returning to the task of our paper, we continue to say that seems excessive treatment of this building and its consideration as a protected item. As an element was deemed to be protected because of this form is being included in a list that acts as a representative of an architectural content and, therefore, cultural. In short, it represents the values \u200b\u200bof this area. Regarding the level and elements of protection, we believe that it is sufficiently explained by itself when we look at the image.
is, once again, a small building which, inserted in a degraded area, has a monumental identity that is worthy of treatment as formal and rigid. The urban form of this building makes clear that the inclusion was the result of chance or a hasty decision that has become permanent without considering the economic consequences of ownership for that decision.
The composition of the facade is under-represented with other properties that are already within Catalog. There are some buildings that already have the ornaments on the facade such as lintels and Research in the gaps of the same. Due to this fact, consider redundant and unnecessary inclusion. In addition, we note the existence of other exponents of the values \u200b\u200bhere are put forward and that, surprisingly, were not included in this listing.
On the other hand, the materials used in the facade are, as in many other cases, common and customary in an area like ours where there are no blackboards and no stone .
ornaments used in construction, metal work, there's nothing extraordinary, but because of the conservative desire to have the planner, have been included as an element to maintain.
addition to this data should be considered purely cosmetic impact the maintenance of the facade in the subsequent spatial distribution in different parts of living in which is to be divided . This is of utmost importance because the interior layout as well be dictated by the ordinances of the building relevant, by itself
Building Code and related provisions
or consistent, will be conditioned by the maintenance of the facade.
already in another vein, we should remember the serious problems the maintenance of buildings, as discussed here, may result in local economic activity.
First, the burden so heavy to be borne by the owners, often people with few resources, as has been shown repeatedly.
Secondly, the difficulties that have to be included in trade since they have loads as described in the preceding paragraph.
And thirdly, these data yield a Consequently there will be, so inevitable, the disinterest in the property and abandonment as the result of maintenance so expensive and lack of accessibility and functionality of it as a counterpoint to the needs presented by persons possessing the same (people an advanced age).
On the other hand, one can be a performance or economic efficiency in the building due to maintenance, inappropriate, on the facade. Consider the possibility of becoming condominiums and the sale or lease of the ground floor for installation of commercial or tertiary activities permitted by the General Plan. "comply with the determinations relating to sanitary conditions of the premises which were installed in the building?
So, it seems that half the contents of the catalog has not been taken into account at any time such considerations important as are the impact on private property, the consideration of treatment as a whole and not good for good, the body of what is protected, and finally, the urgent need to revitalize the downtown.
These themes recur in our files so we will not result in treatment. However, it can and should point out that we must promote the participation of citizen groups such as through the creation of Sector Councils and, in particular, of professionals to find channels of dialogue. This dialogue must go beyond considerations formal and the allegations in the handling of urban planning tools and beyond any legal actions that have affected or interested in the activity against
Administration.
The end of it must be the consideration of a right belonging to citizens by the fact be a resident in a municipality. This right is participation in public affairs has lead to an indirect control of the activity of Administration. control This is the result of the lack of transparency as it relates to its activity in urban issues.
Maybe he is or has been the trigger for the bad name that currently has Urbanism. For this reason it seems necessary that decisions taken are made known to the citizens to ensure cleanliness in an activity that affects us all.
In summary, this case is returned to seek the exclusion of the goods to review the Urban catalog listing.
to planning the next event, take care and be happy.
