THE INTERVENTION PROJECT FOR THE LOURENÇO PEIXINHO AVENUE

1. GENERAL FRAMEWORK – THE ROLE OF THE CITY CENTER


1. THE TRADITIONAL CITY CENTER IS STILL VERY IMPORTANT

2. THE AFFIRMATION OF A WIDER NEW CENTER (RELATED WITH THE GROWTH OF THE UNIVERSITY, TOURISM, AND THE EMERGENCE OF NEW TERTIARY DYNAMICS)

3. THE “BACKBONE” OF THE CITY (LOURENÇO PEIXINHO AVENUE) WAS LEFT BEHIND

4. BY NOT FOLLOWING THE DYNAMIC OF TRANSFORMATION OF THE SURROUNDING SPACES, THIS AXIS IS NOW BLOCKING THE REINFORCEMENT OF THE ENTIRE CENTER OF AVEIRO

5. THIS AXIS IS THE "CENTER OF THE CENTER", ITS QUALIFICATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR STRUCTURAL, SYMBOLIC AND FUNCTIONAL REASONS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE IT WILL ENSURE THE NECESSARY CONSOLIDATION OF THE ENTIRE CENTRAL AREA



THE QUALIFICATION OF THE PUBLIC SPACE:Considering: organization of mobility; enhancement of pedestrian functions, lower presence of the car.

THE RULES FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF BUILDINGS:Considering: articulation of the heritage with the new, desirable and permissible uses.

AN ANIMATION PROGRAM FOR THE PUBLIC SPACE:Considering: better relationship between agents; qualification program.



FOR ITS SYMBOLIC VALUE,

A SENSITIVE SPACE

“LEAVE THE DRAWING BOARD / OFFICE!”

Analysis of human comfort:












• PLANNING RULES FOR EACH SET (VOLUMES AND USES)

• ORGANIZATION OF PARTNERSHIP FOCUSED ON “STRATEGIC” BUILDINGS

• ALLOW INCREASED VOLUME

• HAVE HERITAGE VALUE BUT REQUIRE REHABILITATION

• ABLE TO HOST ANCHOR FUNCTIONS



• MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUMENTS ADOPTED:

• EQUALIZATION / COMPENSATION SCHEME

(APPLICABLE WHEN URBAN PROPOSALS PROVIDE DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTIVE LEVELS FOR SIMILAR PLOTS)

• PRO-ACTIVE TAX SYSTEM

(ARTICULATING INCENTIVES AND PENALTIES ABLE TO COUNTER THE INERTIA / IMMOBILITY)

7. FINAL REMARKS


• THE FUTURE OF THE PROJECT (POTENTIAL RESTRICTIONS):

• FINANCIAL

ENHANCED BY THE CURRENT ECONOMIC SITUATION PROPOSAL: PHASING OF THE PROJECT

• POLITICAL

A PROJECT OF THIS NATURE REQUIRES CONTINUOUS POLITICAL COMMITMENT AND ACTIVE LEADERSHIP
