Find out how the City Council is organised. All the information you need is in the following sections.

The executive structure 

This implements specific policies.

The political structure 

This defines the main guidelines to be followed.

Municipal organisation

Barcelona City Council is organised according to its own legislation, the Municipal Charter, which establishes two different levels: political, which defines strategy for the city, and executive, which is responsible for implementing specific policies in order to achieve defined goals.

The Municipal Charter sets out the main guidelines for running Barcelona City Council. It establishes an organisational structure based on two levels, political and executive, to ensure maximum effectiveness and efficiency in running the city.

The political level

This is made up of councillors who are responsible for the decision-making functions of planning, scheduling and monitoring.

It is made up of government bodies, including:

  • The Municipal Council
  • The Mayor
  • The Municipal Government Commission

Municipal Council

The Municipal Council normally meets once a month, though it may hold an extraordinary meeting when necessary. The Municipal Council works through full meetings and committees.

Municipal Council committees deal with specific issues. They are created by the Full Municipal Council and consist of councillors from the various political parties, in proportion to each party's representation on the Council.

Permanent committees last for the municipal government's entire term of office and meet once a month; while special committees last for the duration of the tasks they were set up to perform.

Municipal groups which must have at least two councillors, group together councillors from the same electoral list who are representing their party at the City Council.

Each municipal group is represented by a spokesperson, who is generally authorised to act in the group's name.

The Board of Spokespersons is chaired by the Mayor and made up of the spokespersons for the various municipal groups. Its function is to discuss and debate the agendas of regular Full Municipal Council Meetings and deal with issues relating to its operations.

The Mayor

The Mayor is the person who chairs and represents the municipal corporation.

Among other things, she is responsible for managing the Municipal government and Administration and with convening and chairing Full Municipal Council Meetings and the Municipal Government Commission.

She is also responsible for appointing deputy mayors and the municipal government's councillors, as well as organising the
Executive Municipal Authority. Furthermore, she is responsible for the City Council's financial management, in accordance with its approved budget.

The Municipal Government Commission

This is the City Council's executive body. It is made up of the Mayor, as chair, and the deputy mayors and councillors she has appointed.

Its powers and duties are established in the Municipal Charter and by delegation from the Mayor and other municipal bodies.

District Councils

Barcelona is divided into ten districts, in order to decentralise its administration and provide attention for city residents locally. Each district is represented by its own District Council, along with the District Councillor and the Presiding District Councillor.

Executive structure

The executive structure is responsible for implementing Municipal Government and Municipal Council initiatives. Its highest executive is the Municipal Manager, who co-ordinates the municipal manager offices, along with the ten district municipal manager offices, which provide everyday municipal management to the city's 73 neighbourhoods.

The manager also supervises key City Council specialist organisations which are responsible for different thematic areas.

The executive structure is organised into manager's offices, run by the Municipal Manager, to cover all the City Council's management areas.

Subsidiary entities

Discover the subsidiary organisations the City Council is provided with to run its services better.

Barcelona City Council has a series of affiliated dependent organisations for the efficient and sustainable development of its services. These are legal bodies in their own right, with their own assets, that are set up for specific purposes, taking into account economic performance and investment recovery criteria.

Creating these bodies allows us to manage certain services in an efficient and specialised manner, achieve greater management autonomy and flexibility, and objectively serve the general interest while acting in accordance with the principles of efficiency, hierarchy, decentralisation, deconcentration and coordination, in full compliance with the Constitution and the Law.

In addition, with the goal of fostering the city’s general interests and improving the quality of life of its citizens, the City Council takes part in decision-making in spheres where these may be affected and collaborates with other administrations and private bodies in areas of mutual interest or shared powers. At the same time, it directly or indirectly participates, to varying degrees, in a number of companies and is represented in different consortiums, foundations and associations.

  • Local independent bodies

    These are municipal public bodies with their own legal personality and management independence. They are governed by administrative law and are tasked, under the operational administrative decentralisation system, with carrying out promotional activities, benefit activities and public-service management.

    Local independent bodies

  • Public business entities

    These are municipal public bodies that are tasked with carrying out activities, managing services and producing assets of public interest, subject to consideration. They are governed by private law, except when running their government bodies, exercising the administrative powers they are granted and in certain areas specifically regulated by legislation.

    Public business entities

  • Municipal trading companies

    These are companies funded entirely with municipal capital. They are trading companies created by City Council with exclusively municipal share capital, for managing services under a decentralised private-law system. They are companies governed wholly by commercial law. These companies, which the public administration runs its public services through, operate in the market under the same conditions as strictly private trading companies. Municipal-majority trading companies are companies that Barcelona City Council has a shareholding of over 50% in.
