Ecology. Urban Planning, Infrastructures and Mobility

The City Council, through La Fàbrica del Sol ("The Sun Factory"), invites you to see the different facilities and areas which show water management, energy, materials, environmental quality, green areas and biodiversity.

This activity includes tours, visits and workshops, where you can see the environmental management of the city. You will also have the opportunity to interact with their managers and share questions, concerns and best practices regarding the healthier and more sustainable habits in order contribute long term to turn Barcelona to a more friendly and long-lasting city.

Come and meet the city water cycle and immerse yourself in both visible and hidden water landscape. Discover all seasons in parks and gardens within the city. Close the materials cycle and meet the initiatives which convert waste into resources. Be committed to self-sufficiency and energy saving under the guidance of the most technological and welcoming side of Barcelona. Meet the environmental quality of the city by analyzing the air we breathe and listening to sounds from each district.

Activities are addressed at adults and families. You can register individually or in groups from 10 people. Some of them are adapted for people with sensory and intellectual disabilities.
