Coronel

CORONEL LAB, BIO

The objective of the Coronel Urban Lab was to characterise the current state of the environmental quality of the soil in green areas such as town squares. This is directly linked to the objectives defined in the Plan Verde Coronel 2050, the first local Green Infrastructure master plan. 

 

The efforts focused on describing and quantifying the green areas of Coronel’s neighbourhoods, through the analysis of secondary sources, observation and sampling techniques in the field and informal interviews with relevant stakeholders in the territory. This made it possible to determine: typology and quantity of green areas present in the neighbourhood, total surface area (m2) of green areas in the neighbourhood, state of green areas according to field observations and vegetational cadastre of the same. In addition, soil samples were taken from 32 green areas of the municipality for chemical and soil quality analysis for vegetation.
