The City Council of Dos Hermanas has approved the tenders for the Bioshadow Plan and the improvement of accessibility in two parks, with co-financing from FEDER funds.
The City Council of Dos Hermanas has given the green light to the tenders for two projects included in the Integrated Action Plan (PAI) “Dos Hermanas CONNECTS”, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) within the Multi-Regional Programme of Spain 2021-2027.
The most notable action is the new Bioshadow Plan, which will allow the planting of around 600 large trees in various locations throughout the municipality, primarily in public educational centres and urban spaces for citizen use.
This initiative will be developed independently and complementarily to the annual planting campaign already carried out by the City Council, aiming to strengthen green infrastructure and improve climate comfort in the city.
The new areas of natural shade will be created in public schools and in spaces such as the Francisco Caro Park, La Alquería Park, the Plaza de los Reyes Magos, the Dehesa Doña María Park, and the surroundings of the Montequinto Community Social Participation Centre.
This action aims to minimise the heat island effect, improve environmental conditions, and create healthier environments, especially in areas for gathering, coexistence, and children's play. The works will include the opening of new tree pits, land conditioning, and large tree plantings, with a planned execution period of six months.
The design of the plan has involved a participatory process in which the parents' associations and students from local primary schools have participated, as reported by the City Council.
At the same time, the tender for the Accessibility Improvement Project in La Alquería Park and Francisco Caro Park has been approved, which will adapt and renew pedestrian pathways for more inclusive use.
In La Alquería Park, work will be done on the routes connecting children's areas, biosalubrious zones, and the Los del Río Auditorium, with pavement renewal and adaptation of pedestrian crossings. In Francisco Caro Park, an accessible route will be constructed via a single platform connecting the Cantaelgallo commuter train station with the children's area.
The City Council considers the Bioshadow Plan a pilot project that, if the results are positive, could be extended to other educational centres outside the scope of the PAI, consolidating an urban renaturalisation model based on citizen participation.
These actions are part of the municipal strategy “Dos Hermanas CONNECTS”, aimed at advancing towards a greener, more accessible, and resilient city in the face of climate challenges.
