Green spaces for the city’s future
Robust and connected urban nature that drives us as a society.
Vegetation plays a key role in decarbonisation and the survival of future generations: it is a valuable legacy. We’re committed to high-quality, biodiverse, green parks and gardens, properly suited to each space, that can offer a resilient system in the face of adverse situations caused by climate change.
Conserving biodiversity
Protecting species, improving habitats and their connectivity.
Improving greenery management allows for greater quantity and quality of habitats, a wider range of flora and thriving animal life.
Cultivating life outdoors

Let’s cultivate knowledge, leisure and care for urban nature. With the support of members of the public, and shared responsibility, we can help everybody enjoy Barcelona’s parks and gardens.
