The Master Plan of Albalat dels Tarongers (Valencia) is one of the new comissions in which the team of AUG-ARQUITECTOS SLP has started working, after winning the competition organized by the Provincial Council of Valencia. Albalat dels Tarongers is a municipality located in the Sierra Calderona District, with a complex system of occupation of the territory, mainly in the area located southwest of the A-23 highway. The dispersion of existing urban areas in this zone, with difficult access and inherently hardly compatible with the urban and environmental regulations, draw a scenario whose management is one of the main objectives of the plan, within the strict framework of the legal limitations applying to it.
The beauty of the natural landscape contrasts with the random dispersion of a large number of single-family homes, arisen as a consequence of excessive laxity in terms of urban control, in an enclave that presents great visual fragility and high exposure to forest fires.
