FLOWING TRIBUTE

A DESIGN to incorporate both riverside and Mediterranean landscapes has won a competition to create a park at the mouth of Valencia’s Turia river.

The winning project called Confluir beat 16 contenders to win the international contest and will take on the €1 million drafting of the first phase of the Parc de Desembocadura.

After being approved a contractor will be appointed to work on phase one of the park, which will eventually cover 245,000m2.

The overhaul has a €35 million budget, with phase one costing €16.5 million - most of which is coming from the Valencia port authority.
