The City Council of Alcalá del Júcar (Albacete) has begun the strategic environmental assessment and the urban transaction of the Special Plan for the Protection of the Historical Artistic Complex (PEPCH), drafted by AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP. Thus begins the development of an urban and heritage instrument in which two and a half years of work have been invested and whose development has coincided with the development of the Master Plan of the same area and with the memory of the Integrated Urban Regeneration Area which is currently being promoted.
The goal of the Special Plan is to stop the process of deterioration that had been suffering the historic center in the recent decades and safeguard the relationship of this with its natural environment, without which it is not possible to understand Alcalá del Júcar. Precisely, this relationship between the built area and the natural space that surrounds it is at the origin of the declaration of the urban center as an Artistic Historic Site in 1983, date from which the drafting of a special protection plan was expected, such as the one that now begins its administrative processing.
