an innovative and sustainable urbanization model near Santa Fe

Santomás Pueblo Verde It is a development designed to house around 50,000 residents and provide them right there with the services and urban equipment necessary for their daily life: shops, offices, recreation, education, transportation, health, safety and environmental sustainability.

Developed by the Santa Fe company Lame, which has 45 years of experience in the central region of the country, is based on sustainability and harmony. “His master plan reveals an outstanding, socially founded, economically viable and environmentally balanced comprehensive urban development that will civically enrich the area and its surroundings,” say his mentors.

Santomás is proposed as a sustainable alternative from an economic perspective, developing a scalable project along with investments for its construction and development, its maintenance and adaptation to the future; in its social dimension, meeting the requirements of the moment such as security, health, comfort, recreation and services; and from the environmental perspective, minimizing the ecological impact.

In this sense, Santomás is a green town that suggests optimizing energy efficiency, managing water resources and reducing waste under a strong ecological commitmentrestoring native species and caring for the ecosystem.

He Estudio Carlucciled by Fernando Carlucci, integrated specialists in engineering, geology, biology, landscaping, security, architecture, sociology, maintenance and operation focused on medium-density urbanizations.

With vast experience in consulting and urban developments in Mendoza, Buenos Aires, Uruguay and Santa Fe, they design and coordinate the construction of Santomás from a master plan that orders the final project and its development in stages, taking care of the technical, environmental and aesthetic relationship from its base infrastructure (facilities, circulations, security and equipment) to the design of the landscape, signage and buildings, accesses, social and urban services.

This ensures the project coherence and identity as well as foresees the adaptation to the successive transformations inherent to its urban character.

Santomás’ great challenge is to achieve an urbanization with greater benefits than the city of Santa Fe, focusing on safety, contact with nature and “return to the neighborhood”, deepening a proximity model that improves the impact on the environment and quality of life.

Under the premise of creating a park of almost 150 hectares in which the housing plots, condominiums and the planned complementary uses are inserted, the green space is presented as the connector and integrator of the complex: everything is within the park, linked to it and the greens of the plots merge with the areas common greens.

The application of urban indicators and morphological freedom of common areas makes it possible for the proportion of green spaces per inhabitant (26 m2), practically double WHO’s best estimates which sets 15 m2 of green spaces per inhabitant as optimal and 10 m2 as a minimum.

“With the implementation of the buildings, we seek to create rich spatial, visual and perspective situations in an orderly urban complex fully linked to nature,” they explain.

Santomás does not have perimeter lots: between the enclosure and the back of the lot there is a large common space treated with landscaping without interference with the electronic and physical security systems.

The project in its scale generates centralities, suburbs, neighborhoods and places identifiable by their particularity, recreating recognizable scenarios of urban and civic value. It is expected that in its final stage, Santomás will generate 10,000 permanent jobs and investments direct in works US$ 1 billion in 20 years.
