The Valencia Street Circuit unveiled in 2008 in the old docks and a former industrial site. It isolates the poor southern suburb of Nazaret from the rest of the city. The land around the circuit is currently being redeveloped to include luxury condos and hotels, according to a plan, by star architect Jean Nouvel. Source: Valencia Cartography Institute.
