These projects of the Action Plan of the Gijón Urban Agenda 2030 are structured in driving projects, such as the implementation of the urban naturalization master plan or the creation of ecomanzanas; and in other strategic projects, such as the intelligent management of transport or the comprehensive plan for people with disabilities.
