The local government of Miranda de Ebro has engaged the company Paisaje Transversal, S.L.L. to draft the Strategic Plan for the Revitalisation, Rehabilitation, and Reactivation of the Historic Centre, with a budget of €41,322.31. This initiative aims to create a long-term roadmap to collaboratively define the desired neighbourhood model, establishing transformative actions to enhance the area.
From 9 November to 9 December 2026, an information office will be open Monday to Friday from 18:00 to 20:00 at the Asociación Renacimiento, located on Avenida Federico Keller. Interested individuals can visit to learn about the project, ask questions, and submit their suggestions during this initial preparation and diagnostic phase.
The scope of the plan encompasses the entire historic area and its protection zone on both banks of the Ebro River, known as Aquende and Allende. The plan will combine an analysis of the current situation with a vision for the future and actions to be taken in the short, medium, and long term. It will be developed through technical work, engagement with social and political stakeholders, and citizen participation, aiming to reach a consensus on the lines of action.
The strategy will include pilot projects and a monitoring system, organised around six key areas: environment, mobility and public space; population and social cohesion; economic activity and tourism; housing; social services and infrastructure; and heritage, culture, and landscape. Governance and participation will be integral to all these areas.
The contributions gathered at the office will help identify the needs and opportunities within the Historic Centre and create a shared diagnosis. In early 2027, specifically on 12 January at the Casa de Cultura, workshops are planned to engage citizens in reviewing the diagnosis and strategic framework, as well as prioritising actions for the plan.
The local government encourages residents, associations, and individuals connected to the Historic Centre to visit the office and share their insights and improvement proposals. Carlos Diez Javiz, the councillor for Culture, Tourism, Rehabilitation, and Historical Heritage, stated, “We greatly value participation in this diagnostic work concerning the challenges faced by the Historic Centre, a symbol of the city and an identifying element. With this plan, we aim to create a pathway for action that can reverse the current situation of the neighbourhood by thoroughly studying the area and designing strategies and actions to transform and regenerate what is now Miranda. We encourage everyone to participate.”
