On a much smaller scale, the requalification of these lands, which were in the private domain of the Aveiro port administration, could produce an impact similar to that of Expo 98 in Parque das Nações.
The land from the old Aveiro auction will be transferred to the municipality. At the end of its mandate, the Government resolved a negotiating impasse that had been going on for several decades and now the Chamber says it will redevelop the area and change the face of the city.
The municipality will pay the State 6.7 million euros for possession of the 11 hectares of land that had been almost abandoned since the 1990s. It is the end of a long process developed by several municipal executives. Now, an authentic urban revolution is underway and There is already a proposal created by a firm of architectswinner of the ideas competition, which the municipality wants to apply to the requalification of the old auction.
Before the urban planning study and subdivision, it is necessary to clean the entire area, including the removal of large fiber cement coverings. An expensive operation that could be financed by European funds.
On a much smaller scale, the requalification of these lands, which were in the private domain of the Aveiro port administration, could produce an impact similar to that of Expo 98 in Parque das Nações.
The municipality plans to invest at least 13 million euros. The conciliation of public interest with private interest should occupy an intense civic and political debate in Aveiro in the near future.
