Valencia’s urban planning councillor, Juan Giner, said: “This public-private initiative will bring investment, new jobs, and growth to the city.”

Opposition socialist councillor, Javier Mateo, responded by stating that the city is ‘being saturated with shopping centres’ to the detriment of local communities and commerce.
