Nature has a lot to teach us. You just have to stop and look. And this time it has won with the creation of the Ripoll River Fluvial Park in Sabadell, in the Vallès Occidental.
The quality of its waters had suffered the consequences of the rapid growth of the city and the strong industrial establishment that occurred between the 50s and 60s, as recognized by the City Council.
The Ripoll River Park project was born with the purpose of "stopping degradation, stimulating recovery and designing a future where social and economic use are compatible and at the same time its natural resources and environmental values are respected."
In this way, the work focused on "improving the quality of water and its environment, meeting various objectives: the recovery of the aquatic ecosystem, the protection of property and people from floods and the recovery and creation of new green and riverside spaces for the citizens of Sabadell".
