Pla de Barcelona

Pla de Barcelona, also known as the Barcelona Plan, is a strategic urban development project aimed at improving the city’s infrastructure, public spaces, and overall quality of life. Initiated in the mid-19th century, it reorganized Barcelona’s layout, replacing walls with broad streets and parks. The plan emphasized modernization, accessibility, and urban expansion, ultimately shaping much of the city’s character today. It reflects a balance between historical preservation and contemporary urban needs, fostering community engagement and sustainable development to address the challenges of urban living. The plan continues to influence Barcelona's growth and urban policies.
