Impact and budget

Impact

The urban transformations currently underway in the city and its surrounding metropolitan area will create new spaces for economic activity which are significant due not only to their size but also to the importance of the activities they will host. 

To assess the potential impact of these activity areas, the direct jobs created from the new economic space to be developed over the next ten years, by 2035, have been estimated. This estimate takes into account the approved general planning as well as the transformation areas already initiated, with approximate surface areas designated for activity.

For each of the areas, a ratio of jobs per square metre has been applied according to the type of activity based on the following ratios:

  • 20 m2 for generic activity and offices
  • 35 m2 for research, teaching and hospital activity
  • 40 m2 for commercial activity
  • 80 m2 for hospitality and convention activities
  • 150 m2 for logistics

From these estimates we obtain:

treball

180.000 new steady jobs

in the metropolitan area

entorn

1.800.000 m2

of increased activity in the city and its surroundings

Budget

The Barcelona Impulsa Plan aims to reactivate and position Barcelona's economy as a leader in Europe and around the world, with a target year of 2035.

To make this possible, it is essential for the City Council to allocate public resources to fund the actions that comprise this strategy.

Specifically, Barcelona City Council plans to allocate a total of 890 million euros to this plan between 2024 and 2027.

Additionally, the Government of Catalonia has provided 4.7 billion euros for public transport, along with investments related to the expansion of the airport. The two investments from the Government of Catalonia and the airport expansion do not have a specific timeline.
