Bulgaria's Black Sea city Burgas is going to have a new urban
development plan that will make it look similar to the Catalan city of
Barcelona.
The plan is authored by a group of architects from the Geostrich
civil organization, and includes extensive forestry and greenery
projects.
It provides for moving the industrial zones to the north and west of
the city, and turning the Southern Industrial Zone into a huge park
similar to the sea garden in the other Bulgarian Black Sea city of
Varna.
Several more new parks, bicycle alleys, and green zones are also
planned, as is a new pedestrian and administrative zone called Super
Burgas.
The oil depositions of the nearby huge oil refinery Lukoil Neftohim
are to covered with soil and plants, and also turned into a new park.
The project provides for the construction of a new golf course and
tourist zones, as well as of three beltway roads to divert the heavy
traffic from the central parts of the city. A city railway is going to
connect the downtown to the Burgas Airport.
The urban development plan also envisages spots for photovoltaic
energy parks, and extending the natural gas distribution network in
Burgas.
