Marina Port Valencia in Spain has unveiled a landscaping project that will reshape its waterfront and create a continuous green corridor between its three marina areas. The plan brings together Marina Norte, Marina City and Marina Sur through a single waterfront route intended for public use throughout the year.

The project aims to bring the marina area closer to the city and replace the traditional divide between port space and urban life. The new corridor will follow the marina basin and serve as a promenade for walking, cycling and outdoor activity.

The landscaping concept was developed by GM Paisajistas together with the ERRE team. The design places greenery, built elements and the waterfront within the same sequence of public spaces that extend along the marina.

The plan also includes shaded sections and designated rest areas. Viewpoints and activity areas are also planned along the route, with views across the marina basin and towards the sea.

Planting across the site uses vegetation commonly found along the Mediterranean coast. The selected species are suited to coastal conditions such as salt exposure, wind and strong sunlight, as well as soil conditions typical of port areas.

The planting plan includes layers of vegetation to support biodiversity and reduce irrigation and maintenance needs. Trees, palms and other landscape elements will provide shade along the route, and existing vegetation will remain in place or be transplanted within the project area when suitable.
