Tomorrow, Thursday, the draw of the 112 subsidised homes comprising the housing development to be located on Zorrotzaurre plot SI-01 will take place among the 549 people who have applied to take part. The draw, which is organised by Amenabar Promociones in coordination with Bilbao City Hall and Etxebide, will begin at 19.00 hours at the Euskalduna Conference Centre.

ZAWP (Zorrotzaurre Art Workin Progress) has created a website (https://memoriaurbana.net/) which brings together reminders of what Zorrotzaurre was once like. This website aims to show information about the district’s social and economic cycles through images and interviews with neighbours and people who worked in companies on the island, in order to paint a picture of the social and architectural transformation the area underwent during the 20th century.

The Councillor in charge of the Mayor’s Office, Contracting and Human Resources, Gotzone Sagardui took part in the session entitled “How governments and cities can work together to jointly design town-planning policies”, where she presented the Zorrotzaurre Island project as an example of multi-level governance and inclusive and sustainable town planning.
