Study for urban model revision

Badia del Vallès is a mass housing estate built in the 1970s. Its citizens, with the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (ES) authority and the municipality, jointly drew up an Integrated Action Plan for the city, under the URBACT project sub>urban. This plan, known as Imagina Badia, established three objectives:  Reconnect the city, breaking its spatial and mental isolationCreate a healthier city, reducing pollution and enhancing high-quality public spaces and adaptable facilitiesAchieve a more inclusive city in terms of housing, economic promotion and peaceful community relations  Building on this, the project’s second phase developed a catalogue of flexible and adaptable tools for intervening in the public and built space.   This practice is transferable to similar neighbourhoods in other EU cities.
