NEW SANTA CRUZ CITY MASTER PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
WHERE TO LIVE
In a place where one can enjoy a better quality of life, with a first level infrastructure.
New Santa Cruz City is the first ever mega new city development in the heart of
South America; smart, pleasant and comfortable, designed by a Bolivia-Korea
team-work as a modern city that will drastically change the way of life in Bolivia.
It will be an urban model, with futuristic vision, that ensures a better quality of life for
all its residents generating an important socio-economic impact for the region.
HOW TO LIVE
Let us look around. Whether you live in the old city or a newly developed towns,
how long do you or your children have to travel to get to places that you need to go?
Schools, hospitals, civic centers or markets. Can you walk to these places or do you
always have to use your car or public transportation?
Let us take another look. When you want to relax and enjoy leisure activities or just
have fun with your family outdoors, are the green areas near you?
WHAT TO DO
We have witnessed the collapse of many satellite cities in many parts of the world
over the passed decades.
Such cases prove the fact that a new city has to be self-sustainable. A mere bed town
loses its attractiveness if there is no industry to offer residents job opportunities. If the
residents have to travel long distances every day for their work places, the desire to
move to a place nearer to their work will always be there.
The new city is planned to accommodate a wide range of industrial and commercial
activites. Live near your work!
