Urban and industrial development projects are progressing across various Spanish municipalities. In Alfafar, the Font Baixa Integrated Action Plan has received environmental approval for a 300-unit social housing ‘eco-neighborhood’. The project includes flood mitigation infrastructure, such as drainage systems and a permeable lake, designed to address risks identified after the October 2024 floods.

In Salamanca, construction plans are underway for 47 single-family homes in the Zurguén neighborhood. Concurrently, authorities in Alfarrasí are working to modify the General Urban Development Plan to reclassify 19 hectares of agricultural land for industrial use, aiming to support local plastic manufacturing companies and attract new business.
