The Salamanca City Council is implementing various urban improvement initiatives focused on sustainability and infrastructure.

In September, the city announced the expansion of its cycling network to over 126 kilometers. This project aims to connect the capital with several surrounding municipalities and improve intermodality by linking bike paths with bus stops and parking areas. The expansion follows a significant increase in bicycle usage reported by local police.

In October, the council announced plans to plant approximately 500 new trees as part of an annual maintenance cycle. The initiative involves selecting species based on adaptation, pest resistance, and allergenic potential. Once completed, the municipal green zones are expected to host over 157,000 trees, contributing to a total city-wide count exceeding 200,000 trees.
