Reinforcement of Vitoria-Gasteiz's green infrastructure through the application of superblocks (REVIVES: REforzando VItoria-Gasteiz VErde con Supermanzanas).
PRTR Call for Proposals Project
LOS HERRÁN BERRIA proposes to reinforce the urban green infrastructure of Vitoria-Gasteiz by incorporating new areas of opportunity for renaturalization through the implementation of the superblocks model, thus taking another step forward in the city’s strategy as a green capital and a benchmark in sustainability.
The project arises from the opportunity to incorporate new areas to the Urban Green Infrastructure System (SIVU, 2015), coming from the release of space destined for automobiles due to the implementation of the superblock model in accordance with the sustainable development strategy defined in the Mobility and Public Space Plan.
To this end, a model will be defined for the renaturation and incorporation into the SIVU of the superblocks for the entire city and action will be taken on the green corridor of Los Herrán and two adjacent superblocks.
All of this will make it possible to reduce atmospheric and noise pollution, reduce global warming and deepen a city model designed for people’s protagonism and quality of life.

The objectives of this project are:
- It will increase urban biodiversity and improve the connection and integration of surrounding green spaces, soil quality, reduce noise and air pollution and temperature.
- Generate better conditions for adaptation to climate change: increase permeability, decrease runoff, prevent flooding and mitigate the heat island effect.
- Generate more comfortable, livable and healthy green environments,
contributing to improve the quality of life, health and well-being of the citizens.
- To allow experimentation and evaluation of the effectiveness of an extensive portfolio of Nature-Based Solutions, in order to analyze their replicability.
- Generate a tractor and multiplier effect of the renaturalization processes in the rest of the city.
- In addition, the transformative effect of the project will be particularly relevant, as it will allow planning the development and growth of green infrastructure throughout the city based on data and evidence.
- Redesign and updating of the Vitoria-Gasteiz Urban Green Infrastructure System.
- Naturalization of the Los Herrán urban green corridor.
- Develop and implement the governance and participation plan.
