The former mine site is to be converted into a park connected to the town centre to the south and extended to the north by the open green space.

To the north of this park leads to an urban square. This is bordered by the new extension to the existing shopping centre which will include a shopping mall. The car parking will be reorganised.

The park will be reached by a gently climbing stairway, enclosed on the east and west side by linear buildings. At the top of these stairs a large building is sited which contains the "academy"(education centre) and public buildings. This building will be a dominant landmark in the landscape. This, the heart of the project, is placed in the oval cleaning of the new park.

Besides, a specially chosen dry vegetation will give this area a particular character, corresponding to its situation. New pathways crossing the site will create a new public space on land which had previously been inaccessible. In the zone which is landscaped with trenches and embankments these pathways will be raised wooden walkways.
