Vigo urban redevelopment and public park projects

Overview

The Vigo City Council is progressing with multiple urban development and public space projects. Initial efforts focused on park expansions, including a new dog park in Barreiro valued at approximately 169,000 euros and the Coto Canedo park project. The latter saw a budget increase of 17.24%, raising its total cost to 9.165 million euros, which prompted requests from political opposition for file access.

Subsequent developments include the transfer of land from the former Vigo bus station to the City Council by the Xunta de Galicia. This site is slated for transformation into green spaces, a large children’s park, and sports facilities. Additionally, the council has launched a design competition for the reform of Plaza de España, covering over 43,000 square meters, with 85,000 euros allocated for prizes to ensure aesthetic and functional coherence.
