Over the last years the city of Barcelona has been faced with a serious housing crisis brought about by the impact of the economic recession. The team that took over the city council in 2015 decided to set up new plans of action in order to guarantee the right to housing, promote a substantial public area for affordable housing and ensure urban quality for the city’s neighbourhood associations. A combination of applied measures trace a panorama of paradoxes that expose the weaknesses in the current model of housing policy.
