Addressing the numerous urban planning fronts open at the Bilbao City Council, Asier Abaunza, Councilor for Urban Planning, Public Space, and Strategic Projects, has underscored the city's most critical challenges. Abaunza, with extensive experience in the council, possesses detailed knowledge of Bilbao's urban fabric and identifies the focal points for urban development in the coming years.
This Sunday, in both the print edition of DEIA and its digital version on deia.eus, the councilor will elaborate on the major ongoing projects and future challenges. Zorrotzaurre, Olabeaga, and the river estuary itself are set to be the primary epicenters of this urban development.
Furthermore, Abaunza will discuss the potential impact of the 2030 FIFA World Cup on Bilbao and his relationship with Mikel Hidalgo, following Hidalgo's designation as the PNV's candidate for Mayor of Bilbao in 2027.
