Transcript of Green Line Linear Park
An environmental linear park for sports, culture and recreation
GREEN LINE
2011-2013
CONCEPTS
Aguascalientes is located in the Mexican semi-desert, we depend on one
of the most overexploited aquifers in the country and it is considered a
high risk zone of climate change.
The East side of the City is the most densely populated and overcrowding
is a big problem here as is the lack of public recreational spaces.
There is a high rate of domestic violence and many of the young criminals
in the City come from these neighborhoods.
Eight out of twelve polygons of poverty of Aguascalientes are here.
This is why, this administraton created the Green Line Project.
CONCEPTS
The Green Line is the name we gave to
the underused land covering the 12”
duct that transports oil for PEMEX.
It is 15 kilómeters in lenght and
between 15 and 60 meters wide in
different sections. A total area of 50
hectars. Its construction will be divided in
three stages.
In 2011, 6 kilometers were built,
finishing the First Stage.
PEMEX-
AGUASCALIENTES:
SHARED VISION
•With the Green Line the Municipal Governent:
•Compensates the lack of public spaces for social gatherings that are
urgently needed.
•Triggers social development for our most vulnerable citizens.
•With the Green Line PEMEX:
•Generates a replicable and scaleable model for the security of its
installations.
•Shows evidence of its commitment to the environment and society.
LAYERS
To execute the project, the work
was divided in the following
layers.
WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE
Parallel to the Green Line, the Hydraulic Recovery Plan “Purple Line” is
developing for the benefit of the entire City, with the rehabilitation of water
treatment plants to curve down water depletion from the aquifer.
To irrigate the new park, 3 existing water treatment plants plus a new one
with great capacity will be installed, covering 100% of the water
requirements of the Green Line.
ROADS AND
PUBLIC LIGHTING
Nowadays, the roads along the Green
Line are heterogenic in quality; some
paved segments, some unpaved and
even vast amounts of non delineated
streets.
The Green Line will consolidate all roads
and will complete the vial structure.
In the most affluent street nodes,
pedestrian, vehicle and bicycle bridges
and underpasses will be built to preserve
the park´s continuity.
The project includes the installation of
completely new illumination
infrastructure with more than 3,300
environmentally friendly street lamps,
their source of energy will come from
14 solar panels.
GREEN
INFRASTRUCTURE
Care for the environment is the base of thisproject. With the inclusion of large grass areasand the plantation of more than 5,000 trees ofconsiderable size and adaptable to local climate,and the carful preservation of more than 210existing trees, we will help slow downdesertification and metabolize CO2 into oxygen.
SPORTS
INFRASTRUCTURE
Bicycle and jogging tracks are the bone
structure of the Green Line.
The tracks are built with permeable
concrete, allowing rainwater to be absorbed
into the ground.
With the support of the Federal
Government, a Sports Club with an Olympic
size pool is currently being built.
Courts for different sports and open air
gyms, bike stations and traditional gaming
areas are designed.
RECREATIONAL
INFRASTRUCTURE
Playgrounds for children are placed all
along the Green Line.
Handicapped people and the elderly are
also considered in the design and
equipment of all installations.
Plazas and resting areas will be fully
equipped for family and community
integration and recreation.
CULTURAL
INFRASTRUCTURE
The site´s new conditions will facilitate diverse cultural activities such as
dance, theatre events, music, visual arts, etc.
Open air forums, concert areas, and different urban elements to allow
street art are also part of the design.
The Green Line will foster a vast amount of community activities like
reading, crafts, workshops, programs for children and free film exhibitions.
