The City Council of Picanya (Valencia) has resolved in favor of AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP the open competition for the drafting of all the sections of the Protections Catalogue. Five proposals were submitted to the contest, corresponding to four companies and a temporary union of companies. For AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP, the elaboration of this planning instrument, dedicated to the inventory and protection of all the heritage of the town, understood in a holistic sense, is a professional challenge of great importance due to the conjunction of two factors: on the one hand , the interest that has always aroused in the company, the protection of heritage, which has led it to lead the ranking of the companies that have protected the most elements in the Valencian Community. On the other hand, and together with the above, the work carried out by the Picanya Town Hall in recent decades, to make this town a benchmark for good urban planning practices, suggests the intention of having a Catalog of Protections that abounds in this line of excellence and search for tools at the service of the quality of life of its citizens.
The new Catalog of Protections of Picanya will incorporate a complete and multidisciplinary analysis of all the patrimonial elements of this town, located in the Huerta de Valencia, between the cities of Valencia and Torrent.
