Urban management and service issues in Cartagena

Overview

In Cartagena, municipal management and urban maintenance have become focal points for local residents and officials.

Following a transition in management from the Mancomunidad de los Canales del Taibilla to the Cartagena City Council, municipal swimming pools reported high usage. The Rafael de la Cerda Park facilities in Tentegorra recorded over 30,000 users, which Sports Councilor José Martínez Hernández described as a “rotundo éxito” (resounding success).

Simultaneously, residents and political representatives are advocating for improved urban services. In the Barrio Peral neighborhood, concerns have been raised regarding waste management, street cleaning, and the need for better road connectivity. In other areas, such as O Martinete and O Birloque, the clearing of abandoned land has provided temporary recreational space for neighbors, though the site is designated for future housing development.
