Abstract:
The work is structured in two blocks, in the first block have been studied the limits of the partial urban plans of eastern Tarragona are studied and in the second block proposes an urbanization and implementation system with the capacity to adapt to an unequal topography depending on the location. From the scenario proposed by the planning of Tarragona for the urbanizations of Llevant, the limits of the PPU are studied and two case studies are examined in depth: the Budellera (PPU-24) and the Torrent de la Bassa Closa (PPU-40). The first case is chosen for its large area, 123 ha and the number of homes proposed, 45 houses / ha. The second case, smaller scale, is chosen due to the fact that it is located close to the Residential City of Tarragona, a non-used sector, with similar extension and with a m² of buildings built similar m² to those planned. It is proposed to modify the limits of the PPU in order to adapt them to the four river basins that flow into Platja Llarga, La Savinosa and L’Arrabassada. This modification makes it possible to avoid orthogonal growths in oil slick, in favor of an urban layout system adapted to the topography and integrated with the streams. As a reference for the implementation and urbanization model, the Residential City of Tarragona is studied, a model in which the layout of roads and buildings use the topography to define their configuration. The proposed system is drawn in the shape of a thorn, starting from a main road parallel to the streams and secondary roads that branch between 45⁰ and 70⁰ from the main artery, depending on the slope of the terrain. The development of the system is projected from four phases of growth with a range of 35 to 60 houses / ha, to be executed according to the demand for housing. The main and secondary roads are designed with the use of parallel bands that allow pedestrian and traffic to be separated from the layout of urban infrastructures to be optimized. The buildings are positioned according to the criteria of orientation and are detached from the alignment of the roads. This allows greater flexibility to generate transition spaces between the public, community and private domain.
