Urban Development Issues in Orihuela Costa

Background

The rapid urbanisation of Orihuela Costa has resulted in chaotic planning, with a mishmash of constructions and a lack of linking roads. Informal constructions often lack municipal services and habitability certificates, particularly in the Montezenia area. City officials acknowledge that the coastal development failed to meet proper planning standards, indicating a disjointed growth pattern in recent decades. Meanwhile, the council intends to address connectivity issues with a Sustainable Mobility Plan, which may result in expropriations and demolition of barriers, including houses.

An example of these challenges is the PAU Eighth South development, which began in two thousand seven. After eighteen years, a major capacity road project has finally been approved to enhance connections between urban areas. In August 2022, the Urban Interest Group of PAU Eight South presented a proposal for the road linking Los Almendros with Ontario Street. Recently, government records confirmed that the council dismissed objections to the project and agreed that this infrastructure is necessary based on expert reports.

To execute this road, part of a private property will need to be acquired, and a pool on that property will be demolished. The work involves connecting two urban zones through this road and aims to incorporate essential services such as potable water, sanitation, and electricity into the broader urban landscape. Demolition, land movement, pavement installation, and lighting will form part of the construction plan.

Overall, the cost of the proposed work and reurbanisation stands at six hundred eleven thousand five hundred seventeen euros. The council hopes this initiative will pave the way for more coordinated and accessible urban development moving forward.
