"It
became necessary to develop a post-industrial city to replace the
industrial one with ambitious renewal programmes, establishing future
urban development guidelines involving the whole area around the
Nervion river in the modern extended city.
Liberated from manufacturing activities, the Estuary and its ports
became elements. of enormous potential to Bilbao. The river meanders
through a large part of the city and offers an important urban open
space with potential for recreational, residential and tertiary
activities, the principal axis of the new city as well as a symbolic
element.
The Abandoibarra area, where the Euskalduna shipyard was located
as well as dockland warehouses, a container rail terminal and some
industrial constructions, is included in this framework, with a
total surface area of 35 hectares."
