Urban
development plan initiated by the Academia Tica.
More recently a project initiated by the school with collaboration with
the local municipality brought a group of urban development professionals
and their students from Germany to Coronado to start an urban development
plan for the county. This group came to us from the Technical University
at Hamburg-Harburg - Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg. http://www.tuhh.de/
They stayed in the area, met with many local leaders and prepared recommendations
in the form of a regional plan for the development options that Coronado
has for the near future.
The
name given to the proyect by the German group is:
Regionales Entwicklungskonzept für den Bezirk Vázquez de
Coronado, Costa
Rica
Other
examples that show how the school participates in the growth of the
community of Coronado are the following:
