Town Planning in a City Fragment:
Functions and Links with the Existing
Where a fragment of a city is of exceptional heritage value, public involvement in urban planning should help encourage rather than hold back its potential. The actual historical assets of the Vega Baja and our understanding about how these have changed over the centuries (see the history section on the Vega Baja) must be the basis for planning its onward development.
However, objectives can be identified at the outset as well as certain constraints. Primarily, the Vega Baja project must create a city that works.
It should:
- energize the zone by developing cultural resources and public facilities which make use of existing heritage resources; there will be larger facilities for the whole of Toledo city and smaller ones serving local communities.
- integrate the area with its surroundings by improving communications and enhancing important resources such as the archaeological site, university campus and other centres just created. As well as having good links to the rest of the city, this great central space must also allow, through careful and effective design, to pass through it whatever connections are necessary for the city as a whole.
- decide the location of special facilities that will constitute new points of interest in the area, in particular the Vega Baja Museum, Interpretation Centre and Research Centre for the Visigothic Period.
