Participatory process linked to the Urban Master Plan for the Biopol Granvia

The scope of the PDU Biopol Gran Via is a large unbuilt area that borders Gran Via avenue, the Bellvitge neighborhood and the river park of the Llobregat. It is a space of great environmental value, since it still hosts agricultural uses and acts as a connector between the urban fabric and the natural environment. Likewise, it represents a great opportunity to expand current healthcare facilities, due to its location and proximity to Granvia. 

 

Within the framework of the drafting of an Urban Master Plan (PDU) that defines how to organize the territory, this participatory process has been developed, with the objective that the urban planning regulations have a link with the reality of the territory, especially at a social level. It is unavoidable that the transformation of this environment is planned and projected in a manner consistent with the needs of the people who use it both daily (residents, farmers, workers…) and sporadically. 

 

For all this, it has been an intense and complex process, which has required a diversity of spaces and channels for debate, so that everyone had the opportunity to share their proposals with the rest of the agents involved and, little by little, build a shared story. The information collected has been worked on in parallel with the writing team to search for and define the criteria that make participation have an impact on future regulations, and ultimately, enrich the final result. It should be said that the project has been carried out jointly with Equal Saree and with the specific collaboration of Islote Studio.
