PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE
Europan 10 Description: The current global financial crisis and particularly the burst of
the real-estate bubble in Spain demands the rethinking of housing as inhabitable
infrastructure capable of attracting Public and Private Participation in key sectors such as
health care together with corporate partners engaged in the creation, development and
management of infrastructure, energy and water. Habitats capable of promoting a shift to
healthier lifestyles, public-private pedagogical facilities, interwoven with commercial
activities, public spaces and transportation for a more sustainable consumption of
resources.
