Topic: Urban Development Masterplan (Muelle de Levante) in Huelva (Spain)

Abstract: The city of Huelva, its port and its estuary have been deeply interrelated throughout the centuries. For years, the last navigable section of the Odiel estuary has been linked mainly to mining and industrial uses, its use being marginal for the enjoyment of citizenship. The advances that are taking place in different administrations policies in urban and territorial planning are making compatible the transformation of their socio-economic activity and putting in value Muelle de Levante for the citizens. Since the expansion of the Port of Huelva and the transfer of its main focus of activity to the outer port, the weight of the inner port in all its activities has been greatly reduced, coinciding with a strong citizen demand to recover the contact of the city of Huelva with its estuary. To achieve it and make it sustainable in the medium and long term it is necessary to incorporate new uses this urban sector that provide value for citizen enjoyment and make possible the implementation of compatible non-industrial activities in Muelle de Levante. Port-city actions undertaken in recent years Huelva Port Authority as the Paseo de la Ría have shown how it is possible to rehabilitate port areas, facilitating the meeting of the city of Huelva with its estuary by organizing a common place for citizen leisure and compatible portuary uses. The master plan presented in this work allows the orderly development of fishing, industrial, portuary, commercial and recreational activities, generating synergies between them. It also highlights the important industrial port heritage of more than a kilometer of historic quay that has been the origin of the city of Huelva and currently an opportunity for port-city integration. We are referring, in short, to the transformation of an important border-boundary of the city of Huelva historic center into a unique both portuary and citizen space.
