OUTCOME • 140 projects in 7 years • Citizen self-esteem • Quality of life • City Council popular support The production of public spaces is still an outstanding element in the everyday urban planning policies of the city.

Sants station’s square. New project

L’escorxador. New park and library in a dense central city area.

2 nd PHASE: OLYMPIC GAMES. FOUR OLYMPIC AREAS • Montjuïc • Diagonal • Vall d’Hebron • Nova Icària NEW INFRASTRUCTURES • Traffic infrastructures: ring-roads • Airport: a new terminal • Rail network: relocation of railtrack infrastructure • Utilities: 35 km Service galleries

Cross section

Isotropy The new infrastructures, more intangibles, with almost no physical support, do not so harshly impact the land. Its easy development allows to functionally optimize old territories. Every program is possible in every site.

Verticality. . & waterscape The tower buildings as power symbols. They can contribute to clarify the urban identity and moreover they enlarge the typological repertoire.

Hybrid programs In front of the functional specificity of the space in the industrial era, the neotertiary offers a higher functional complexity which implies the abandonment of the “zoning” and the superposition of different functions (hybrid programs) in one building.
