The integrated project for the improvement of the urban setting in the "Vazrazhdane" district is an initiative of the Burgas Municipality, successfully completed by IPA.
The project is part of the all-around concept for urban environment development, conveyed in private innovative solutions and public visions concerning mobility, the creation of new areas, and the accomplishment of a single, unifying vision for the entire city.
The transformed territory surrounds the inter-block spaces in the neighborhood and their conversion into a new, more comprehensive, and accessible environment for sports, recreation, and socialization. The goal of the project is to maximize the use of the field by accomplishing a balance between landscaping and play installations.
Each of the 6 reconstructed spaces was built with the idea of providing a different, unique leisure area. Different facilities and types of playing fields provide options and more opportunities for active sports, quiet relaxation, or recreation.
An important part of the project is the freeing of green areas from cars as much as possible and the design of a setting entirely for people's benefit. A bicycle and a running lane are planned through all the inter-block spaces.
The playgrounds are themed and age-appropriate. The facilities in them are made of natural materials and in earthy colors so that they strongly assist the development of imagination in children. In their selection, the thought of games related to the earth and stimulating creative thinking is leading. Each zone and its installations are the results of IPA's preliminary research on how many children there are in the neighborhood and what are their ages.
IPA also provides a special design for the information boards - a t-shirt in a nautical stripe that anyone can "wear" and take their photo at.
The largest green area has a designated space for walking pets. There are more reservoirs for collecting rainwater, places for garbage collection, and composting of waste planned. Video surveillance has been introduced to increase security.
