== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

* The principal reason I chose the ''"Parc de Capçalera"'' is because it's the cornerstone of the old Turia riverbed. In 1957, took place the vast flood of Valencia, then the local administration decided to change the natural course of the river and they built the biggest urban garden/park in Spain there.
* Specificly nowadays the ''"Capçalera"'' park links the old riverbed, totaly an urban and ornamental garden, with the natural ecosystems that remain outside the city.
* Personally, I grew up in Valencia and I have seen the initial situation from the beginning, obviously after the vast flood. And although the result it's nice, I'd like to see other posibilities.

== Author's perspective ==

As a graduate in environmental science degree, my perspective is based on the interaction in urban areas with the environment.
And also the idea of create a green area must accomplish a social and ecological function.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*The ''Parque de Cabecera'' is the lengthening of the old greenbelt great Turia. Thus achieving portion of the project which unifies the natural bed Túria with artificial (new riverbed) by restoring the original character and vertebrador of the river. The park gives to the city and the metropolitan area a green space because of its size and setting works as a frame for the realization of numerous activities.

*Valencia was formed on an alluvial plain surrounded by a double meander of a torrential river, the Túria. The river ran forming a set of belts that bind and separated leaving small alluvial islands between them.

*This urban park landscape represents the original River Turia, in this case water is the main element that determines the topography, vegetración and equipment.

== Analytical drawings ==

*In my case the connection between the cultural framework and the natural dynamic is very patent, because the history background of the place defines the location of the park inside the city and the planting design has the water as principal element.

* The dynamic in the Mediterranean region are not very marked in colours but in fragance, the same species of Mediterranean forests protect against cold and heat almost to the same extent. What creates differences between them and other stations are the exotic plants that provide colorful in the spring, the animals, and the riverside forest. And also the abundance of people changes.

== Projective drawings ==

* I would like to represent a more natural ecosystem, even the place is situated near the city, I think that it brings the opportunity of transform the environment. Also I'd like to afford to the people an open space, integrated between the old city and the suburbs. I will start to remove the retaining wall of the stream, and I will put a wood structure with some ''Salix atrocinerea'', that will make easy to appear the first shoots. In addition i will remove parts of the concrete that is used today for delimitate the end of the park, it will be more conciliatory another elements like sand, rocks or gravel.

* In 10 years it will seem more like an old river, the old Turia river, and the ''Salix'' will be replaced for native plants. The ''Salix'' is used to create optimal conditions. Besides the filter on the big pond will change the colour of the water, the animals and then the landscape. The result of change the planting density of the hill will become in make the top higher than today, and it will motivate the people to access there.

== Summary and conclusion ==

* This park has many potentials to make it a reference site, because the history, the location and the clima. Valencia has average temperatures about 17 ºC, so the visitors like to enjoy the outside almost during all the seasons. For me the particularity that makes the park an interesting case, is that is a connection between the urban landscape and the rural environment. Nowadays, the feeling is that the park is in the middle of the city, so the people goes there but they don't enjoy it. If we are walking from the city, around the existing urban garden and we bring closer to the park, the tour will be like this: use the top of the hill like a focus point to reach the visitor. Then, from there discover the new landscape, more natural and similar to the river ecosystems.

*In my case the connection between the cultural framework and the natural dynamic is very patent, because the history background of the place defines the location of the park inside the city and the planting design has the water as principal element.

* The dynamic in the Mediterranean region are not very marked in colours but in fragance, the same species of Mediterranean forests protect against cold and heat almost to the same extent. What creates differences between them and other stations are the exotic plants that provide colorful in the spring, the animals, and the riverside forest. And also the abundance of people changes.

* I would like to represent a more natural ecosystem, even the place is situated near the city, I think that it brings the opportunity of transform the environment. Also I'd like to afford to the people an open space, integrated between the old city and the suburbs. I will start to remove the retaining wall of the stream, and I will put a wood structure with some ''Salix atrocinerea'', that will make easy to appear the first shoots. In addition i will remove parts of the concrete that is used today for delimitate the end of the park, it will be more conciliatory another elements like sand, rocks or gravel.

* In 10 years it will seem more like an old river, the old Turia river, and the ''Salix'' will be replaced for native plants. The ''Salix'' is used to create optimal conditions. Besides the filter on the big pond will change the colour of the water, the animals and then the landscape. The result of change the planting density of the hill will become in make the top higher than today, and it will motivate the people to access there.

== Summary and conclusion ==

* This park has many potentials to make it a reference site, because the history, the location and the clima. Valencia has average temperatures about 17 ºC, so the visitors like to enjoy the outside almost during all the seasons. For me the particularity that makes the park an interesting case, is that is a connection between the urban landscape and the rural environment. Nowadays, the feeling is that the park is in the middle of the city, so the people goes there but don't enjoy it.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

* The principal reason I chose the ''"Parc de Capçalera"'' is because it's the cornerstone of the old Turia riverbed. In 1957, took place the vast flood of Valencia, then the local administration decided to change the natural course of the river and they built the biggest urban garden/park in Spain there.
* Specificly nowadays the ''"Capçalera"'' park links the old riverbed, totaly an urban and ornamental garden, with the natural ecosystems that remain outside the city.
* Personally, I grew up in Valencia and I have seen the initial situation from the beginning, obviously after the vast flood. And although the result it's nice, I'd like to see other posibilities.

== Author's perspective ==

As a graduate in environmental science degree, my perspective is based on the interaction in urban areas with the environment.
And also the idea of create a green area must accomplish a social and ecological function.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*The ''Parque de Cabecera'' is the lengthening of the old greenbelt great Turia. Thus achieving portion of the project which unifies the natural bed Túria with artificial (new riverbed) by restoring the original character and vertebrador of the river. The park gives to the city and the metropolitan area a green space because of its size and setting works as a frame for the realization of numerous activities.

*Valencia was formed on an alluvial plain surrounded by a double meander of a torrential river, the Túria. The river ran forming a set of belts that bind and separated leaving small alluvial islands between them.

*This urban park landscape represents the original River Turia, in this case water is the main element that determines the topography, vegetración and equipment.

In 1957, took place the vast flood of Valencia, then the local administration decided to change the natural course of the river and they built the biggest urban garden/park in Spain there.
* Specificly nowadays the ''"Capçalera"'' park links the old riverbed, totaly an urban and ornamental garden, with the natural ecosystems that remain outside the city.
* Personally, I grew up in Valencia and I have seen the initial situation from the beginning, obviously after the vast flood. And although the result it's nice, I'd like to see other posibilities.

== Author's perspective ==

As a graduate in environmental science degree, my perspective is based on the interaction in urban areas with the environment.
And also the idea of create a green area must accomplish a social and ecological function.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*The ''Parque de Cabecera'' is the lengthening of the old greenbelt great Turia. Thus achieving portion of the project which unifies the natural bed Túria with artificial (new riverbed) by restoring the original character and vertebrador of the river. The park gives to the city and the metropolitan area a green space because of its size and setting works as a frame for the realization of numerous activities.

*Valencia was formed on an alluvial plain surrounded by a double meander of a torrential river, the Túria. The river ran forming a set of belts that bind and separated leaving small alluvial islands between them.

*This urban park landscape represents the original River Turia, in this case water is the main element that determines the topography, vegetración and equipment.

== Analytical drawings ==

*In my case the connection between the cultural framework and the natural dynamic is very patent, because the history background of the place defines the location of the park inside the city and the planting design has the water as principal element.

* The dynamic in the Mediterranean region are not very marked in colours but in fragance, the same species of Mediterranean forests protect against cold and heat almost to the same extent. What creates differences between them and other stations are the exotic plants that provide colorful in the spring, the animals, and the riverside forest. And also the abundance of people changes.

== Projective drawings ==

* I would like to represent a more natural ecosystem, even the place is situated near the city, I think that it brings the opportunity of transform the environment. Also I'd like to afford to the people an open space, integrated between the old city and the suburbs. I will start to remove the retaining wall of the stream, and I will put a wood structure with some ''Salix atrocinerea'', that will make easy to appear the first shoots. In addition i will remove parts of the concrete that is used today for delimitate the end of the park, it will be more conciliatory another elements like sand, rocks or gravel.

* In 10 years it will seem more like an old river, the old Turia river, and the ''Salix'' will be replaced for native plants. The Salix is used to create optimal conditions.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

* The Eastern border of our 2.5 hectare big site consists of an old oak lane and narrow water channels in the West. This site is part of a bigger 107 hectares landscape garden / arboretum featuring many rare trees and shrubs from all over the world. The idea of collecting many rear trees and shrubs because of their botanical interest was less important than the design and the general appearance of the English landscape inspired park. Many landscape architects such as Russell Page helped to realize this idea.

* Short history of the site
During the Middle Ages there was a lot of deforestation throughout Belgium and western Europe. After a while wood became scarce and it could no longer be used as firewood. Suddenly there was a need for a new energy substitute. So around the beginning of the 13th Century people began to use peat as a substitute. The manual harvesting of peat created micro-landscapes that can still be found on our site. The transport of peat was done by small boats on narrow channels. Within the ‘Spillebeek area’ one can still find these channels. At the end of the 17th Century the area ran out of peat. So the land needed a new function. Agriculture and forestry were the most profitable at that time. So the landscape changed once again and consisted mainly of forest and grassland. In 1798: After the French Revolution the property was sold off by The French Republic. Thus meant the end to a 7 Century long Abbey Farm. The property became an estate that changed owners a number of times over the centuries. The estates became self-sufficient and isolated from the surrounding environment. During these times farms and other buildings were built with materials from the site. The bricks were made in stone ovens from clay that was found on site. This again increased variety of micro-landscapes that can be found on estate. The house that is on the site was close to the stone ovens. It was here that the foreman of the stone ovens lived. The house was renovated in the 1990’. In 1961 the 107 hectares site has been property of the family ‘De Belder’, who changed it into a landscape arboretum as we know it in its full glory today.

* The site is low maintained, because the renovated house has no current usage. The grass is extensively mown (only about 4 times a year).
On our site there are various sorts of trees and shrubs planted:
- Quercus robur, Q. petraea
- Various Populus sorts mainly Populus x canadensis
- Picea orientalis
- Ilex aquifolium
- Betula pendula)
or spontaneously:
- Fraxinus excelsior
- Alnus glutinosa
- Rubus fruticosa
The woody parts are overgrown with plants that came spontaneously (Fraxinus, Alnus, and Rubus) or by seedlings (of Betula, Populus, and Ilex).

* This is a very dynamic and high potential site with many different and interesting landscape typologies.

== What are the objectives of your design? ==

Due to the fact the plot has been managed at a low maintenance ratio, a lot of the garden has succumb to overgrowth and weeds. As the park is not only botanically interesting, but also the way it has been laid out, we see the restoration of the landscape park as the main objective. The first step woud be to do a survey of what was orignally planned and planted and to compare that with what trees and shrubs are still there and growing. A further step towards the restoration, would be to put together a maintenance plan, that would include things like pruning of the trees and shrubs, the removal of invasive and unwanted species and defining grassland maintenance from woodland and wetland maintenance.
Since the park is so vastand we have so little time, we have decided on choosing a smaller representative patch within the perimeter. This patch of land has a high density of the various different structural elements, that can be found within the Hemelrijk landscape park. The ideas and principles that we develop for the Spillebeek patch, can then be applied to the rest of the park.

*Anna: on my experience the collaborative design was very useful and helpful, mainly the different approaches came of with a nice and mature design. Also the process includes a feedback between us, what means an improvement of our skills. The most difficult for me was to explain my thoughts without the background of the landscape history, and reflect my ideas on the planting design from another vision different of the engineering. Even so, I used the bio-engineering because is the most close to landscape design. Individually the principal potential was to know about de concept mapping. And the aspect of group work more interestings are the landscape history background and the knowlegde of native species around.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

* The Eastern border of our 2.5 hectare big site consists of an old oak lane and narrow water channels in the West.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

* The Eastern border of our 2.5 hectare big site consists of an old oak lane and narrow water channels in the West. This site is part of a bigger 107 hectares landscape garden / arboretum featuring many rare trees and shrubs from all over the world. The idea of collecting many rear trees and shrubs because of their botanical interest was less important than the design and the general appearance of the English landscape inspired park. Many landscape architects such as Russell Page helped to realize this idea.

* Short history of the site
During the Middle Ages there was a lot of deforestation throughout Belgium and western Europe. After a while wood became scarce and it could no longer be used as firewood. Suddenly there was a need for a new energy substitute. So around the beginning of the 13th Century people began to use peat as a substitute. The manual harvesting of peat created micro-landscapes that can still be found on our site. The transport of peat was done by small boats on narrow channels. Within the ‘Spillebeek area’ one can still find these channels. At the end of the 17th Century the area ran out of peat. So the land needed a new function. Agriculture and forestry were the most profitable at that time. So the landscape changed once again and consisted mainly of forest and grassland. In 1798: After the French Revolution the property was sold off by The French Republic. Thus meant the end to a 7 Century long Abbey Farm. The property became an estate that changed owners a number of times over the centuries. The estates became self-sufficient and isolated from the surrounding environment. During these times farms and other buildings were built with materials from the site. The bricks were made in stone ovens from clay that was found on site. This again increased variety of micro-landscapes that can be found on estate. The house that is on the site was close to the stone ovens. It was here that the foreman of the stone ovens lived. The house was renovated in the 1990’. In 1961 the 107 hectares site has been property of the family ‘De Belder’, who changed it into a landscape arboretum as we know it in its full glory today.

* The site is low maintained, because the renovated house has no current usage. The grass is extensively mown (only about 4 times a year).
On our site there are various sorts of trees and shrubs planted:
- Quercus robur, Q. petraea
- Various Populus sorts mainly Populus x canadensis
- Picea orientalis
- Ilex aquifolium
- Betula pendula)
or spontaneously:
- Fraxinus excelsior
- Alnus glutinosa
- Rubus fruticosa
The woody parts are overgrown with plants that came spontaneously (Fraxinus, Alnus, and Rubus) or by seedlings (of Betula, Populus, and Ilex).

* This is a very dynamic and high potential site with many different and interesting landscape typologies.

== What are the objectives of your design? ==

Due to the fact the plot has been managed at a low maintenance ratio, a lot of the garden has succumb to overgrowth and weeds. As the park is not only botanically interesting, but also the way it has been laid out, we see the restoration of the landscape park as the main objective. The first step woud be to do a survey of what was orignally planned and planted and to compare that with what trees and shrubs are still there and growing. A further step towards the restoration, would be to put together a maintenance plan, that would include things like pruning of the trees and shrubs, the removal of invasive and unwanted species and defining grassland maintenance from woodland and wetland maintenance.
Since the park is so vastand we have so little time, we have decided on choosing a smaller representative patch within the perimeter. This patch of land has a high density of the various different structural elements, that can be found within the Hemelrijk landscape park. The ideas and principles that we develop for the Spillebeek patch, can then be applied to the rest of the park.

== Summary of the collaborative process ==
''Please reflect on your collaborative design process. Which potentials have you encountered? What was most difficult? What does collaborative design mean for you? (approx 150 words).''
*Anna: on my experience the collaborative design was very useful and helpful, mainly the different approaches came of with a nice and mature design. Also the process includes a feedback between us, what means an improvement of our skills. The most difficult for me was to explain my thoughts without the background of the landscape history, and reflect my ideas on the planting design from another vision different of the engineering. Even so, I used the bio-engineering that for me is the most close to landscape design.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

* The Eastern border of our 2.5 hectare big site consists of an old oak lane and narrow water channels in the West. This site is part of a bigger 107 hectares landscape garden / arboretum featuring many rare trees and shrubs from all over the world. The idea of collecting many rear trees and shrubs because of their botanical interest was less important than the design and the general appearance of the English landscape inspired park. Many landscape architects such as Russell Page helped to realize this idea.

* Short history of the site
During the Middle Ages there was a lot of deforestation throughout Belgium and western Europe. After a while wood became scarce and it could no longer be used as firewood. Suddenly there was a need for a new energy substitute. So around the beginning of the 13th Century people began to use peat as a substitute. The manual harvesting of peat created micro-landscapes that can still be found on our site. The transport of peat was done by small boats on narrow channels. Within the ‘Spillebeek area’ one can still find these channels. At the end of the 17th Century the area ran out of peat. So the land needed a new function. Agriculture and forestry were the most profitable at that time. So the landscape changed once again and consisted mainly of forest and grassland. In 1798: After the French Revolution the property was sold off by The French Republic. Thus meant the end to a 7 Century long Abbey Farm. The property became an estate that changed owners a number of times over the centuries. The estates became self-sufficient and isolated from the surrounding environment. During these times farms and other buildings were built with materials from the site. The bricks were made in stone ovens from clay that was found on site. This again increased variety of micro-landscapes that can be found on estate. The house that is on the site was close to the stone ovens. It was here that the foreman of the stone ovens lived. The house was renovated in the 1990’. In 1961 the 107 hectares site has been property of the family ‘De Belder’, who changed it into a landscape arboretum as we know it in its full glory today.

* The site is low maintained, because the renovated house has no current usage. The grass is extensively mown (only about 4 times a year).
On our site there are various sorts of trees and shrubs planted:
- Quercus robur, Q. petraea
- Various Populus sorts mainly Populus x canadensis
- Picea orientalis
- Ilex aquifolium
- Betula pendula)
or spontaneously:
- Fraxinus excelsior
- Alnus glutinosa
- Rubus fruticosa
The woody parts are overgrown with plants that came spontaneously (Fraxinus, Alnus, and Rubus) or by seedlings (of Betula, Populus, and Ilex).

* This is a very dynamic and high potential site with many different and interesting landscape typologies.

== What are the objectives of your design? ==

Due to the fact the plot has been managed at a low maintenance ratio, a lot of the garden has succumb to overgrowth and weeds. As the park is not only botanically interesting, but also the way it has been laid out, we see the restoration of the landscape park as the main objective. The first step woud be to do a survey of what was orignally planned and planted and to compare that with what trees and shrubs are still there and growing. A further step towards the restoration, would be to put together a maintenance plan, that would include things like pruning of the trees and shrubs, the removal of invasive and unwanted species and defining grassland maintenance from woodland and wetland maintenance.
Since the park is so vastand we have so little time, we have decided on choosing a smaller representative patch within the perimeter. This patch of land has a high density of the various different structural elements, that can be found within the Hemelrijk landscape park. The ideas and principles that we develop for the Spillebeek patch, can then be applied to the rest of the park.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

* The Eastern border of our 2.5 hectare big site consists of an old oak lane and narrow water channels in the West. This site is part of a bigger 107 hectares landscape garden / arboretum featuring many rare species from all over the world. The idea behind this grand collection of so many rare trees and shrubs was to create a landscape park, that was greatly inspired by the english landscape garden and less a so to have a botanically interesting collection of trees for the sake of having collection. Many landscape architects such as Russell Page helped to realize this idea.

* Short history of the site
During the Middle Ages there was a lot of deforestation throughout Belgium and western Europe. After a while wood became scarce and it could no longer be used as firewood. Suddenly there was a need for a new energy substitute. So around the beginning of the 13th Century people began to use peat as a substitute. The manual harvesting of peat created micro-landscapes that can still be found on our site. The transport of peat was done by small boats on narrow channels. Within the ‘Spillebeek area’ one can still find these channels. At the end of the 17th Century the area ran out of peat. So the land needed a new function. Agriculture and forestry were the most profitable at that time. So the landscape changed once again and consisted mainly of forest and grassland. In 1798: After the French Revolution the property was sold off by The French Republic. Thus meant the end to a 7 Century long Abbey Farm. The property became an estate that changed owners a number of times over the centuries. The estates became self-sufficient and isolated from the surrounding environment. During these times farms and other buildings were built with materials from the site. The bricks were made in stone ovens from clay that was found on site. This again increased variety of micro-landscapes that can be found on estate. The house that is on the site was close to the stone ovens. It was here that the foreman of the stone ovens lived. The house was renovated in the 1990’. In 1961 the 107 hectares site has been property of the family ‘De Belder’, who changed it into a landscape arboretum as we know it in its full glory today.

* The site is low maintained, because the renovated house has no current usage. The grass is extensively mown (only about 4 times a year).
On our site there are various sorts of trees and shrubs planted:
- Quercus robur, Q. petraea
- Various Populus sorts mainly Populus x canadensis
- Picea orientalis
- Ilex aquifolium
- Betula pendula)
or spontaneously:
- Fraxinus excelsior
- Alnus glutinosa
- Rubus fruticosa
The woody parts are overgrown with plants that came spontaneously (Fraxinus, Alnus, and Rubus) or by seedlings (of Betula, Populus, and Ilex).

* This is a very dynamic and high potential site with many different and interesting landscape typologies.

== What are the objectives of your design? ==

Due to the fact the plot has been managed at a low maintenance ratio, a lot of the garden has succumb to overgrowth and weeds. As the park is not only botanically interesting, but also the way it has been laid out, we see the restoration of the landscape park as the main objective. The first step woud be to do a survey of what was orignally planned and planted and to compare that with what trees and shrubs are still there and growing. A further step towards the restoration, would be to put together a maintenance plan, that would include things like pruning of the trees and shrubs, the removal of invasive and unwanted species and defining grassland maintenance from woodland and wetland maintenance.
Since the park is so vastand we have so little time, we have decided on choosing a smaller representative patch within the perimeter. This patch of land has a high density of the various different structural elements, that can be found within the Hemelrijk landscape park. The ideas and principles that we develop for the Spillebeek patch, can then be applied to the rest of the park.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

* The principal reason I chose the ''"Parc de Capçalera"'' is because it's the cornerstone of the old Turia riverbed. In 1957, took place the vast flood of Valencia, then the local administration decided to change the natural course of the river and they built the biggest urban garden/park in Spain there.
* Specificly nowadays the ''"Capçalera"'' park links the old riverbed, totaly an urban and ornamental garden, with the natural ecosystems that remain outside the city.
* Personally, I grew up in Valencia and I have seen the initial situation from the beginning, obviously after the vast flood. And although the result it's nice, I'd like to see other posibilities.

== Author's perspective ==

As a graduate in environmental science degree, my perspective is based on the interaction in urban areas with the environment.
And also the idea of create a green area must accomplish a social and ecological function.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*The ''Parque de Cabecera'' is the lengthening of the old greenbelt great Turia. Thus achieving portion of the project which unifies the natural bed Túria with artificial (new riverbed) by restoring the original character and vertebrador of the river. The park gives to the city and the metropolitan area a green space because of its size and setting works as a frame for the realization of numerous activities.

*Valencia was formed on an alluvial plain surrounded by a double meander of a torrential river, the Túria. The river ran forming a set of belts that bind and separated leaving small alluvial islands between them.

*This urban park landscape represents the original River Turia, in this case water is the main element that determines the topography, vegetración and equipment.

----

[[File:Pre.jpg]]

== Analytical drawings ==

*In my case the connection between the cultural framework and the natural dynamic is very patent, because the history background of the place defines the location of the park inside the city and the planting design has the water as principal element.

* The dynamic in the Mediterranean region are not very marked in colours but in fragance, the same species of Mediterranean forests protect against cold and heat almost to the same extent. What creates differences between them and other stations are the exotic plants that provide colorful in the spring, the animals, and the riverside forest. And also the abundance of people changes.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

* The principal reason I chose the ''"Parc de Capçalera"'' is because it's the cornerstone of the old Turia riverbed. In 1957, took place the vast flood of Valencia, then the local administration decided to change the natural course of the river and they built the biggest urban garden/park in Spain there.
* Specificly nowadays the ''"Capçalera"'' park links the old riverbed, totaly an urban and ornamental garden, with the natural ecosystems that remain outside the city.
* Personally, I grew up in Valencia and I have seen the initial situation from the beginning, obviously after the vast flood. And although the result it's nice, I'd like to see other posibilities.

== Author's perspective ==

As a graduate in environmental science degree, my perspective is based on the interaction in urban areas with the environment.
And also the idea of create a green area must accomplish a social and ecological function.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*The ''Parque de Cabecera'' is the lengthening of the old greenbelt great Turia. Thus achieving portion of the project which unifies the natural bed Túria with artificial (new riverbed) by restoring the original character and vertebrador of the river. The park gives to the city and the metropolitan area a green space because of its size and setting works as a frame for the realization of numerous activities.

*Valencia was formed on an alluvial plain surrounded by a double meander of a torrential river, the Túria. The river ran forming a set of belts that bind and separated leaving small alluvial islands between them.

*This urban park landscape represents the original River Turia, in this case water is the main element that determines the topography, vegetración and equipment.

*This urban park landscape represents the original River Turia, in this case water is the main element that determines the topography, vegetración and equipment.

*In my case the connection between the cultural framework and the natural dynamic is very patent, because the history background of the place defines the location of the park inside the city and the planting design has the water as principal element.

* The dynamic in the Mediterranean region are not very marked in colours but in fragance, the same species of Mediterranean forests protect against cold and heat almost to the same extent. What creates differences between them and other stations are the exotic plants that provide colorful in the spring, the animals, and the riverside forest. And also the abundance of people changes.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

* The principal reason I chose the ''"Parc de Capçalera"'' is because it's the cornerstone of the old Turia riverbed. In 1957, took place the vast flood of Valencia, then the local administration decided to change the natural course of the river and they built the biggest urban garden/park in Spain there.
* Specificly nowadays the ''"Capçalera"'' park links the old riverbed, totaly an urban and ornamental garden, with the natural ecosystems that remain outside the city.
* Personally, I grew up in Valencia and I have seen the initial situation from the beginning, obviously after the vast flood. And although the result it's nice, I'd like to see other posibilities.

== Author's perspective ==

As a graduate in environmental science degree, my perspective is based on the interaction in urban areas with the environment.
And also the idea of create a green area must accomplish a social and ecological function.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*The ''Parque de Cabecera'' is the lengthening of the old greenbelt great Turia. Thus achieving portion of the project which unifies the natural bed Túria with artificial (new riverbed) by restoring the original character and vertebrador of the river. The park gives to the city and the metropolitan area a green space because of its size and setting works as a frame for the realization of numerous activities.
