The integrated project for enhancing the urban environment in the Vazrazhdane district is an initiative of the Municipality of Burgas, successfully delivered by IPA – Architecture and more.
The project is part of a broader vision for the development of the urban environment, expressed through targeted innovative solutions and unified approaches to mobility, the creation of new public zones, and the establishment of a cohesive, citywide identity.
The transformed area covers the inter-block spaces within the district, redesigning them into a new, more functional and accessible environment for sports, recreation, and social interaction. The aim of the project is to make the most effective use of the terrain by achieving a balanced relationship between greenery and play facilities.
Each of the six renovated areas is designed to offer a distinct and unique zone for leisure. A variety of equipment and sports courts are incorporated, providing options and greater opportunities for active play, exercise, or rest.
A key element of the project is the maximum freeing of green areas from parked vehicles and the creation of spaces that prioritize people. All inter-block areas feature a dedicated cycling lane and a running path.
The children’s playgrounds are thematically connected and age-appropriate. Their equipment is made from natural materials and presented in earthy tones, supporting imagination and creative play. The selection process focused on activities related to nature and on elements that stimulate creative thinking. Each zone and its facilities is based on preliminary research conducted by IPA – Architecture and more regarding the number of children in the district and their age distribution.
IPA – Architecture and more also created a special design for the informational signage - a T-shirt in marine stripes that anyone can “wear” and use as a photo backdrop.
The largest green area includes a dedicated dog-walking zone. The project also incorporates rainwater collection tanks, waste collection points, and composting areas. Video surveillance measures have been implemented to enhance safety.
