The Ensanche neighborhood (L'Eixample) was the first urban enlargement after the Valencian city wall demolition. As most mediterranean cities in the early XIX Century, Valencia also followed the Plan designed by Ing. Mr. Cerdá for the urban enlargement of Barcelona. Unfortunately, the most important ideas of the original Plan were forgotten. The open blocks were built completely closed, preventing people to walk through the green areas that Mr. Cerdá designed for the interior area of the blocks. Even more, these green areas were finally occupied by stores, ware houses and car parks. Furthermore, the original storey number was also increased. The final result is a neighborhood without green spaces or public squares and absolutely waterproof. We must take in account that we are speaking about a big and dry mediterranean city with more than 3.000 sun hours per year but with storm rain episodes that collapses immediately the runoff water management system. All rain water is lost in a place were every drop is needed for life. Why this case is interesting? Because we have a dry, hot, waterproof, polluted and inefficient neighborhood that is asking a better functionality; in other words, new green infrastructures.

== What are the overall objectives of your design? What are the specific objectives for enhancing green infrastrucutre? ==

''Improve water management - Green roofs - sustainable drainage system - more pedestrian space instead roads and car space - more trees - bike lines - calming traffic measures - permeable - pavements - permeable roads - run off storage underground system - etc ''

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

== Author's perspective ==
Landscape architect with the classic horticultural engineering background due to the absence of an official degree in this matter in my country. Although nowadays it is possible to study this degree, the profession is still not recognized.
In spite of that, I have tried to work as L.A. for more than twenty years, and I'm very proud to be still alive.
I brought up in this beautiful neighborhood and now I live and work in it. So, I see everyday the lack of a better environment and the great chance to change it from grey to green with the multifunctionality of green infrastructures.

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

The ''Ensanche'' neighborhood (''L'Eixample'') was the first urban enlargement after the Valencian city wall demolition. As most mediterranean cities in the early XIX Century, Valencia also followed the Plan designed by Ing. Mr. Cerdá for the urban enlargement of Barcelona. Unfortunately, the most important ideas of the original Plan were forgotten. The open blocks were built completely closed, preventing people to walk through the green areas that Mr. Cerdá designed for the interior area of the blocks. Even more, these green areas were finally occupied by stores, ware houses and car parks. Furthermore, the original storey number was also increased. The final result is a neighborhood without green spaces or public squares and absolutely waterproof. We must take in account that we are speaking about a big and dry mediterranean city with more than 3.000 sun hours per year but with storm rain episodes that collapses immediately the runoff water management system. All rain water is lost in a place were every drop is needed for life. Why this case is interesting? Because we have a dry, hot, waterproof, polluted and inefficient neighborhood that is asking a better functionality; in other words, new green infrastructures.

== Author's perspective ==
Landscape architect with the classic horticultural engineering background due to the absence of an official degree in this matter in my country. Although nowadays it is possible to study this degree, the profession is still not recognized.
In spite of that, I have tried to work as L.A. for more than twenty years, and I'm very proud to be still alive.
I brought up in this beautiful neighborhood and now I live and work in it. So, I see everyday the lack of a better environment and the great chance to change it from grey to green with the multifunctionality of green infrastructures.

Narbonarafael: /* Case Study 4 */

--> Back to [[Working_Groups_Seminar_Green_Infrastructure_2014|working group overview]]

''Dear working group members. This is your group page and you will be completing the template gradually as we move through the seminar. Each member has an individual page for documenting his/her personal case. You can also access your template for assignment 4 (the joint design) from here. Good luck and enjoy your collaboration!
''

== Assignment 2 - Lecture Concept Map ==
*''The list with the group distribution shows you which lecture your group is supposed to document in the concept map format.''
*''Please add your collaborative concept map here by replacing the dummy image. Your map needs to have a new file name:''

== Assignment 3 - Green infrastructure potential in your environment ==

*'''Assigned: Tuesday, October 28'''
*'''Due: Monday, December 1'''

''There is one template page for each group member. The case could be a specific site in direct vicinity or a larger area in your region. The objective is to identify structures that have the potential to become elements of a green infrastructure strategy. ''
