Santiago de Compostela is a sustainable city that pays particular attention to environmental quality. Measures for preservation of the environment are undertaken such as a comprehensive waste management system and energy planning.
It has an urban-ecological project which sees the city’s urban transformation and development. It is specifically aimed at the city’s material and cultural conservation and restoration in the context of territorial planning, upgrading of natural and scenic resources and the development of environmental quality.
In one with these goals is the provision of urban parks that are ideal meeting places to promote social cohesion and interaction. Santiago de Compostela has two million square meters of such panoramic green spaces. The parks include San Domingos de Bonaval, Belvís, Galeras and Simeón, each of which has its own unique style and design.
