The Water Tower will become the “world lighthouse” of logistics

The Government of Aragon has announced that it will turn the Water Tower into the world’s logistics beacon and a benchmark in energy and water. The initiative will require a significant institutional investment and will need more than a year to become a reality . In addition, there will also be a project to recover the Aragón pavilion.

This was announced by the Minister of Development of the Government of Aragon, Octavio López , in statements to the media during the celebration of the Forbes Summit Sustainable Mobility , which is taking place in the Puente Pavilion . López has advanced that this is an initiative that is part of a project managed by the regional Executive to recover some spaces at Expo 2008 that have been unused or abandoned for years.

López has insisted that the investment in the Water Tower alone will be very important and in the coming days he will take the preliminary project to the board of directors of the Expo.

“We want that when people arrive in the city of Zaragoza, in addition to seeing the Basilica del Pilar which we will never be able to surpass, there is another icon of reference that will be viewed from many kilometers away,” he pointed out and added that they contemplate the incorporation of a world-class audiovisual project.

PEANUTS WILL BE FILLED WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES

López has emphasized that the Water Tower is close to the bridge pavilion and the Mobility City space of the Ibercaja foundation, so they will try to work with them to do “things together.” “We are going to try to integrate what logistics means, what energy means and what water means,” she stressed.

Another objective that the Government of Aragon has set as its objectives is to try to fill the peanut spaces with public and private companies. López made this announcement during the celebration of the Forbes Summit Sustainable Mobility , at the Pavilion-Bridge, headquarters of Mobility City. There, the mayor of Zaragoza, Natalia Chueca , has highlighted her government’s commitment to a fleet of electric urban buses  for the Aragonese capital that do not pollute and the implementation of numerous charging points around the city for electric cars.

The CEO of Forbes, Ignacio Quintana , organizer of the event, has highlighted Zaragoza’s efforts in sustainable mobility. Since the Mobility City was opened by Ibercaja , in the Puente Pavilion, in just over a year, 150 activities have been held and more than 300,000 people have passed through its facilities.
