Ideas & Suggestions

The waste collection area near the residential buildings could be modernised through the installation of an underground waste collection system, replacing the existing surface containers. The proposal would consist of creating an integrated waste collection point with separate disposal units for different types of waste, such as general waste, paper and cardboard, packaging and glass. Only the access openings would remain visible above ground, with the containers themselves installed below street level. As well as reducing the visual impact of large waste containers on the street, this solution would create a cleaner and more organised public space. Underground systems can also provide greater storage capacity while helping to protect waste from wind, rain and some animals. The installation could be combined with a small improvement of the surrounding area, using suitable paving and, where possible, some landscaping to create a cleaner and more harmonious space that fits better with the residential development.

The unused open area at the entrance of the neighbourhood has the potential to be transformed into a meaningful green space for the whole community. The idea is to create the Neighbourhood Garden, a place designed for different ages and needs, promoting wellbeing, social interaction and quality of life. This garden could include several complementary areas: playful circuits for children with safe and engaging structures that encourage physical activity; an outdoor fitness zone equipped for functional training and general exercise; and a dedicated area for pets, featuring a dog park where dogs can socialise safely. More than just a green space, this would become a community meeting point, encouraging a more active lifestyle and enhancing the value of the neighbourhood’s shared public space.
