Co-management of public spaces

The Barcelona City Council promotes green areas within the city and encourages city residents to improve and care for these areas.

Thus, it is essential to encourage organisations and associations to help to maintain parterres and planters in urban parks. 

This is the city’s commitment to promote biodiversity and strengthen its green spaces with the goal of improving its residents’ quality of life.

What are the goals of this project?

  1. Provide non-profit organisations with the opportunity to help to maintain the city’s green spaces.
  2. Reach a co-management agreement that clearly defines the responsibilities and commitments between the Municipal Institute of Parks and Gardens and the interested organisation and outlines the rights and responsibilities of each party.

Who can apply for it and what commitments must they make?

Any organisation that is registered as a non-profit may apply.

  • The organisation has to have an insurance policy for the activity.
  • The organisation has to pledge to maintain the space for two years.
  • The organisation has to accept the maintenance tasks outlined in the co-management agreement.
