Project publshed in a+t n.30 Civilities II
This project is part of the action plan riven by ProEixample, a mixed economy company created by he City of Barcelona, with public and private capital.
ProEixample’s mission is to carry out a revitalisation plan in the Example district to make it more attractive and improve its residents’ quality of life. In order to do so, the company has begun the renovation and regeneration of streets and public spaces, the recovery of the inner areas of street blocks to gain new useable space and green areas, and the construction of public service buildings that, as in this case, work to break down barriers between different generations, thus encouraging social cohesion. The plan also includes the dynamisation of the district as an area that is home to business, culture, tourism and leisure activities, and includes the impulse and promotion of housing initiatives.
