ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

DIFFUSE CITY

Greater consumption of soil
Dispersion of the building and infrastructures.
The built surface per inhabitant is greater.
The building typology has a higher maintenance
The mobility model rests in the private vehicle. Scarce Accessibility
The dispersion of networks.
More energy is consumed in single-family building typologies. Social Segregation
The public space is reduced and replaced by private urban spaces: sports, shopping,
transportation, etc.

COMPACT CITY

Lower consumption of soil.
The proximity between uses and functions supposes a lower consumption of materials.
The built-up area / inhabitant is smaller.
Building typology has less maintenance.
Most trips can be made on foot, by bicycle or by public transport.
Energy demands in apartment blocks are lower.
The street, and the square are the spaces of contact and coexistence par excellence providing
urban quality.

Los impactos ambientales de los campos de golf son muy diversos: consumo de territorio,

urbanización del medio rural y natural, pérdida de conectores biológicos entre espacios

naturales, contaminación de acuíferos, desfiguración del paisaje, presión humana por

incremento del tráfico, ruido, contaminación lumínica nocturna, etc.

Pyrophytes or pyrophylls are plant species capable of withstanding a fire.
it is an advantage in places and climates where fires are recurrent, since species that do not they support those fires die and leave that niche, that space, for species "resistant" to fire.
In addition, the species that survive this disturbance will have at their disposal, as a general rule, a large amount of nutrients from their own ashes and other burned organic remains.

It is proven that the plant ecosystems closest to ecological maturity burn with
more difficult than other plant formations and after the fire the regeneration of the cover
original, conigual composition and structure, is faster.

The environmental impacts of golf courses are very diverse: consumption of territory,
urbanization of the rural and natural environment, loss of biological connectors between spaces
natural, pollution of aquifers, disfigurement of the landscape, human pressure
increase in traffic, noise, nocturnal light pollution, etc.
