RAMBLES VERDES

Team point of view

Barcelona is organized by axes parallel and perpendicular to the sea. To the east, the parallel axes are extended to complete the system of public spaces and to establish transversal links between the project site and the surrounding neighbourhoods. Through the site, these transversal links form the “Green Ramblas” (Rambles Verdes), which are the main public spaces and play a key role in managing the climate and the water cycle: creeks let the surface runoff infiltrate and ponds clean the waste water. Between them, strips of potential building space can absorb, over time, the different functions, populations, incomes, housing typologies and ways of life. The “Green Ramblas” are also the main social focus, bringing a truly vibrant new neighbourhood to life.
