The municipal Governing Board approved the file this Monday, with the aim of improving climatic comfort in one of the busiest pedestrian areas of the capital of Tenerife. These structures, according to the council, will be easily removable to facilitate their maintenance or removal in case of future urban needs.
The base bidding budget for the project's drafting, technical direction, and health and safety coordination amounts to 107,829.43 euros. The execution period is estimated at 10 months once the contract is formally awarded.
“"This project responds to an evident need in an area especially exposed to the sun and with a large influx of people. We want to make Santa Cruz a more livable, comfortable city adapted to current climatic conditions, without losing functionality and urban integration."
The initiative has been coordinated with the Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Historical Heritage area, and the city council's Urban Planning Management. A municipal spokesperson highlighted that the action is “aimed at improving climatic comfort in one of the city's highest pedestrian traffic areas.”
“"We have worked hand in hand with the Cabildo, Historical Heritage, and Urban Planning to ensure that the project meets all heritage, technical, and sustainability criteria. Furthermore, these structures will be modular and removable, allowing for a more flexible city prepared for different uses of public space."
