The Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration is carrying out the Improvement Plan for medians and roundabouts in Murcia, which aims to rehabilitate these spaces to offer greater visibility to drivers and pedestrians, as well as beautify the urban environmentThe Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration led by José Guillén, is carrying out the Improvement Plan for medians and roundabouts in Murcia, which aims to rehabilitate these spaces to offer greater visibility to drivers and pedestrians, as well as beautify the urban environment.Within this framework, improvement work has been carried out in the median of the North Coast.
The actions include the remodeling of the flower beds, the renovation of the plant elements with new species, as well as the modernization of the irrigation system.José Guillén explained that "we continue to work in our green spaces, always prioritizing the improvement of the environment and road safety, also betting on urban landscape quality"Renovation of the irrigation system, substrate and ground coversAmong the elements renovated in this median, the new bushy plants stand out, covering more than 1,300 m2.
These native and highly rustic species are better adapted to environmental conditions and require less water.A modernization of the irrigation system has also been carried out, which allows for 1,000 new drippers, as well as various valves and elements to control it as programmers that work with solar panels.In this way, irrigation has been automated to make efficient use of water, measuring the water needs of each area.
Irrigation in this summer season is carried out at night, to improve evapotranspiration that makes the plant increase its vitality and better absorb the water it needs, saving costs and resources.Likewise, the substrate has been enriched with organic matter and the ground covers that have been lost due to atmospheric phenomena such as rain have been renewed.This medium now has a natural decorative bark like pine bark that increases the aesthetic value and reduces the appearance of spontaneously growing herbs, and therefore the use of phytosanitary chemicals.
Specifically, 200 m2 of pine bark and anti-growth mesh of unwanted herbs have been incorporated.Increased urban biodiversity and environmental benefitThis improvement plan also takes into account the biodiversity of the environment, incorporating new elements to protect urban fauna, such as nest boxes, drinking fountains and insect hotels, in order to protect the most common species from negative stimuli, such as noise pollution from road traffic or atmospheric conditions, such as rain or low temperatures.The improvement of the environmental quality is a reality thanks to these renovations, since the emission of oxygen to the environment is increased and the polluting gases are captured, as well as the environmental dust.
Plant elements act as natural regulators of environmental conditions.
