Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
The Green Infrastructure potential of this case resides on the components around the area. The nature part is the river itself, the fauna and flora related with the river contributes the potential of this factor. In the other hand it is the engineering potential, a study of the recovery of the river course is required because some places are flooded. The location of the place is near a urban area so it elevates the social potential and it increases the possibilities of activity. The area annexed to the riverside were fields for years, now the owners have abandoned the land farming, but the irrigation and plots remain, and this is the economic potential of the case.
Author's perspective
My agricultural engineering view makes me find the benefit of the crops around the river. At present some plots are rented for the agricultural activity, but it's not organized and it doesn't create development opportunities. Also the environmental study and landscape architecture point of view helps to make the combination between the rivers recovery and the social integration.
