Neighbourhood life

Malilla and the future to come in Valencia

01/05/2019 by Monapart

It has taken almost nine years since the design by landscape designer Kathryn Gustafson was chosen to see the Central Park that aims to link the neighbourhoods of Ruzafa (the coolest in Valencia), Arrancapins, La Raiosa, Malilla and La Creu Coberta in Valencia become a reality. Last January, part of one of the most important and far-reaching urban planning operations (perhaps the largest since the construction of the City of Arts and Sciences, back in 1998) for the city of the Turia in the last decade opened its doors. According to the parties involved in the development of this macro-project, the design of the Central Park responds to typical Valencian landscape typologies such as the orchard and the sea. It seems simpler than it really is: more than 60 species of trees have been used, and it is planned that once it is finished, 1,000 trees and more than 86,000 bushes will surround the Demetrio Ribes warehouses and the surrounding esplanades of this new green area in the centre of Valencia.
