Economic Development Plan 2016-2021

Support is needed for existing CSSE projects in the neighbourhoods of Ciutat Vella, many of which are at an emergent stage and need specific support, according to the rhythm of the community perspective, and in many cases these require other very specific advisory and support solutions.

The social and solidarity economy must be a real and feasible way of generating economic activity in the District. In addition to supporting existing initiatives, the main challenge is to develop new projects that address the needs of the area and which follow the criteria of the social and solidarity economy.

As such, there will be a Personalised Support Point for CSSE Entrepreneurship in Ciutat Vella, which will accompany and incubate projects and incorporate CSSE as an alternative employment option as part of services and resources for job placements.

The social economy represents a view of all economic policies, which can be developed to a greater or lesser extent, with the idea of building a type of local development that is fairer, more sustainable, viable and robust.
