21,000 new homes will be built in Vitoria, and the city will grow inward
The new PGOU will facilitate the rehabilitation of dwellings and open the door to the conversion of premises into low-floor dwellings, provided that they meet strict living conditions. In addition, hotel uses will be allowed on the upper floors of buildings such as the Palacio Europa or the Market for Supplies and the rules of industrial parks will be relaxed.
The plenary of the City of Vitoria-Gasteiz will today approve the new General Urban Management Plan (PGOU), a key text that will mark the future urban development of the city, which will allow the construction of 21,148 new housing units , of which 75% will be assessed and protected in order to meet the demand for housing without expanding the urban perimeter.
The new PGOU is committed to the growth of the interior of the city through the regeneration of soils already integrated intothe urban fabric. This model seeks to densify the population and reuse existing spaces, in contrast to the expansion to the periphery that has prevailed in previous decades.
In addition to the new promotions, the plan promotes the rehabilitation of housing and opens up thepossibility of converting premises into low-floor housing , provided that they meet strict living conditions. New promotions are planned in the city centre in the hospital square, in Leuven and on the grounds opposite the Renfe station.
The document also introduces changes in other areas,such as the Palace of Europe or the Supply Market. It authorizes hotel uses on rooftops in buildings such asthePalace of Europe or the Supply Market. and makes the rules of industrial parks more flexible. In this area, the plan envisages the possibility of expanding companies such as Basquevolt or Mercedes.
However, the Provincial Council of Álava and the business associations believe thatthe PGOU is short on industrial land planning, even before it enters into force, to meet the needs of new companies interested in settling in the city.
The new plan is supported by the municipal groups of the Socialist Party of the Basque Country, the PNV and Elkarrekin, and will be finally approved in plenary.
