Torrevieja promotes the study of the future administrative city together with the Polytechnic University of Madrid

The Torrevieja City Council has taken a new strategic step to plan the growth and modernization of its administrative structure with the signing of a collaboration agreement with the Polytechnic University of Madrid, aimed at studying and defining the future model of an Administrative City in the environment of the current City Council.

The agreement will allow for joint work in defining a comprehensive vision that integrates the old City Hall, the current municipal building, and the new municipal properties acquired in the surrounding area, creating a coherent, functional administrative complex adapted to the present and future needs of the city.

The scope of action focuses on the complex formed by the historic Town Hall building, the current municipal building, and a new building planned for the rear, with access from Clemente Gosálvez Street. A comprehensive study will be carried out on this site to serve as the basis for the project entitled “ Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Connection of the Torrevieja City Administrative Complex ,” with the aim of organizing, connecting, and enhancing all existing municipal heritage.

The Councillor for Heritage, Domingo Paredes, emphasized that “ Torrevieja needs to rigorously plan the growth of its administration. We are providing more services, have more staff, and serve an aging population, so this agreement allows us to envision the City Hall of the future, unifying spaces, showcasing our historical heritage, and creating a more accessible and efficient administrative environment for citizens.”

Under this agreement, faculty and students of the Interior Design Degree program at the Polytechnic University of Madrid will develop academic, non-executive studies and proposals focused on the functional organization of buildings, the connection between spaces, interior design, building systems, and improving the user experience. These projects will not, under any circumstances, constitute a technical construction project nor will they involve professional supervision or assistance.

Domingo Paredes added that “the aim is clear: to facilitate residents' access to municipal services, reduce unnecessary travel, decrease bureaucracy, and concentrate most of the procedures that are currently scattered in one administrative environment.”

The Polytechnic University of Madrid has a long track record in teaching projects linked to the regeneration and rehabilitation of public and administrative spaces, which guarantees an innovative, rigorous approach aligned with the real needs of local administrations.

The agreement, with a total budget of 54,450 euros (VAT included) charged to the 2025 financial year, reinforces the commitment of the Torrevieja City Council to strategic planning, institutional collaboration and applied innovation, laying the foundations for a future modern, functional Administrative City designed for direct service to the citizen.
