Arteixo Urban Agenda

THE URBAN AND RURAL AGENDA OF ARTEIXO (AURA)

The Urban and Rural Agenda is a collaborative process involving both public and private entities within a municipality. Its central purpose is to foster equitable, fair, and sustainable development in the urban environment. This initiative seeks to ensure that local development policies are aligned with the principles and objectives established by the 2030 Agenda, the United Nations’ New Urban Agenda, and the guidelines set by the European and Spanish Urban Agendas. It is therefore important that Arteixo has an Urban and Rural Agenda.

URBAN AND RURAL AGENDA OF ARTEIXO (AURA)

IAP – INTEGRATED ACTION PLAN “Arteixo in positive”

In March 2023, the Arteixo City Council and the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda formalized a general protocol of action that gave formality to the collaboration between the two entities and expressed the Ministry’s willingness to take into consideration the Action Plan of the Urban and Rural Agenda of Arteixo (AURA), as a pilot project of the Spanish Urban Agenda, a good practice and transferable experience that can guide other municipalities in the preparation of their respective action plans.

In this context, the City Council has developed the Integrated Action Plan for Arteixo, a plan that has been developed considering the framework of its AURA and the territorial governance model.

The IAP “Arteixo en positivo” aims to promote sustainable and integrated development, from a triple perspective:

improve the physical and environmental dimension,
improve the economic dimension and competitiveness,
improve the social dimension of these territories.

The IAP “Arteixo en positivo” was unanimously approved by the Plenary of the municipal corporation on February 27, 2025.
