La Sagrera transformation

Public Involvement

The Sagrera station and linear park project is, apart from being an infrastructure project, a city creation project. The criteria followed by this project are the connection of the Sant Martí and Sant Andreu neighbourhoods (historically separated by the tracks), the creation of a large green space, the promotion of the diversity of uses and economic activities in its surroundings, the revitalization of the social and urban space and the promotion of a new development model based on sustainability.

In order to involve the residents of the surrounding area of ​​this project, the Barcelona City Council created a commission in which the main neighborhood entities of the surrounding neighborhoods participate. The commission has debated and collected proposals in relation to the promoted planning modifications, the linear park project, the urbanization criteria and public space around the park, mobility in the project area, among others. This commission has also monitored the works on the passage of the High Speed ​​Line (LAV) towards the French border and the work on covering the tracks.

Participatory structure and players involved

A Monitoring Committee meets once a year to ensure the smooth development of the project. The entities that form part of it are:

FAVB, AV Bon Pastor, AV La Sagrera , AV Navas, AV Sant Andreu de Palomar, AV Sant Andreu Nord, AV Sant Andreu Sud, AV Verneda Alta, Plataforma veïnal de Sant Andreu, Unió de Comunitats de Propietaris de Sant Martí (UCPSM), AV Sant Martí de Provençals, AV la Maquinista, Associació Apropa't. Four technical resident advisors also participate in the process.

In addition, Open information and debate sessions are periodically convened and/or with specific groups from the districts of Sant Andreu and Sant Martí in order to work on and monitor the project.
