The urban development of cities involves the growth of these towards liberated areas intended to be occupied and provided with infrastructures and services for the population for various uses such as residential, office, industrial, commercial, etc.
The design of urban developments requires an urban development plan,which takes time for project execution and legal procedures and must be committed to improving citizens’ quality of life and improving and modernising cities.
Urban development projects can be carried out on different surfaces, large or small. Still, their function is the same: to develop a piece of land by building roads for means of transport such as buses, bikes, cars, trams, and, of course, for pedestrians.. These developments are divided into blocks, polygons or plots on which buildings or green spaces are constructed according to the planned land use
The future trend for these infrastructures is to design housing developments sustainably, using recyclable materials in the construction and opting for green urbanism in which energy use is reduced. In addition, it is also intended to move towards the redevelopment of derelict or degraded urban areas rather than new developments on developable land, to use existing built-up areas that can be reconverted by using space and recycling materials.
Sando Construcción has executed some of the country’s most significant urban development projects.. One of these projects is El Cañaveral in Madrid, the most extensive urban development conducted in recent years in all of Europe, which, with a surface area of 5,388,384 m2, will house an estimated population of 52,000 inhabitants.
Sando Construcción also has experience executing urban developments, roads and all associated infrastructures such as tunnels, bridges, promenades, bicycle lanes, BUS/HOV and pedestrian walkways. It includes the execution of urban renovations such as Martiricos, in Malaga, which has been recognised with the Andalusia Prize for Urban Planning 2021 and the Mention Award for Sustainability 2022 from the Official College of Architects of Malaga due to the execution of the renovation of this urban and degraded area of the city in a sustainable manner.
