Rationale: Why is this case study interesting?

Please summarise:- e.g. Design Innovation? Planning Exemplar? Theoretical Insights? Lessons learned from its failure? [It doesn’t have to have been successful]

Think about it from the view of another educator/student in a different country. Why should I use this case study in my teaching/education?

The area that is now ocuppied by this park was a very big area deserted that slowly became a slum dweller therefore was also a dangerous part of the city, but after this project it became a important part of the city a public space of recreation and also a place for culture; some years after the park was finish the city build a new library, and a museum. This park have a square that it´s used for a lot of different cultural events like concerts, presentations, festivals, and civil events. It has a good location; close to the center of the city, to the goverment offices. And it is a "green belt" in the riverside of the river "El Chuviscar" that is almost dry up, also in the city there are not much parks and green public areas.
