The Councilor for Urban Planning ended by saying that it is a crucial action for the city because the city center is going to be regenerated and there are “several owners who have projects to build, since it is a highly demanded space, and in which it can be carried out carry out construction for residential use, commercial offices, dotational or hospitality”.
