This document summarizes a development, design, and urban planning project for a residential area in Segorbe, Spain. It includes: - Designing 5 layout options with different features like green space, forest preservation, and slope stability. Design 5 was selected for further development. - Designing the roads system, drainage/sewer systems, water system, power/lighting, and parks/green spaces for the selected design. - Calculating costs for the different infrastructure elements, with a total estimated budget of 3.88 million euros. - Outlining a 14 month work plan and economic ratios for the development.

 Due to the high elevation difference between the North and South side of the
area, the development is concentrated in the South flat part.
 To reduce the dirt moving, roads have been designed based on the contour lines,
being a complex system of parks and roads.

Pedestrian Road Northern Perimeter RoadInternal Roads
 Northern Perimeter Road: Double direction's road with double sidewalk and ditch
in the external side to collect the mountain runoff water
 Internal Road: Single direction’s roads with a car park line and double sidewalk
 Pedestrian Road: Four pedestrian roads to give pedestrian access to the houses

 The grade line has been designed 1 meter
under the surface line considering the
aggregate material of the platform
 Longitudinal section: The cut and fill of the
road and the dirt moving
 Cross Sections: Let analyse how the road
evolves every 20 meters
