The exhibition presents the major transformations Barcelona is undertaking with a 2035 horizon, coinciding with its designation as World Capital of Architecture. It showcases strategic projects under development and their impact on the quality of life in neighborhoods from a metropolitan perspective. Through these diverse projects, the exhibition reveals a Barcelona in the making, striving to be more livable, prosperous, cohesive, and better connected.
Barcelona 2035: A City to Live In is a dynamic exhibition that invites you to discover the major transformations redefining Barcelona. It evolves with the city, updating itself and incorporating new projects and perspectives as Barcelona progresses. A hub for civic engagement, a window into the present and the immediate future, a space for a city that thinks, plans, and acts.
Visitors can explore the major city projects in detail, displayed on a large table in the center of the room. Maps, models, and images guide visitors through the ongoing transformations and explain their impact on people's lives. This journey allows them to understand how each intervention is part of a broader city project and how its effects are felt concretely in neighborhoods and in daily life.
Where is more housing being built? Where are new, quality jobs being created? How is mobility improving? How are neighborhoods adapting to foster a sense of belonging and strengthen residents' identities? Barcelona 2035. A City to Live In responds by explaining the city's major transformation areas: the new La Marina del Prat Vermell neighborhood, the new Montjuïc as a large urban and metropolitan park, with the renovated Fira and new housing, the waterfront and the last remaining connection, the Ciutadella del Coneixement as a leading hub in Europe, the Tres Chiemeneies Sant Adrià de Besòs, the transformation of La Sagrera and its surroundings, Vall d'Hebron, Porta Diagonal-Campus Clínic and the L'Hospitalet Biocluster as new biomedical and scientific campuses open to the city, and the 22@Nord district with more housing and improved urban quality.
Behind this great transformation lies a shared vision and a clear commitment: with a 2035 horizon, the City Council is deploying a public investment of over €10.6 billion in strategic projects that are already transforming neighborhoods and improving the quality of life for all their residents. These are far-reaching projects spread across the city, presenting a new way of understanding the city: more livable, more prosperous, more cohesive, and better connected. The exhibition is part of the World Capital of Architecture program and engages in dialogue with the other exhibitions hosted by Barcelona's new House of Architecture, located in the former headquarters of the Gustavo Gili publishing house. These include, on one hand, the large-scale model of the Barcelona 2026-2035 Plan, which is prominently displayed at the building's entrance; and on the other, "Barcelona, a Diverse, Intense, and Complex City," a unique perspective on the city based on data, processes, and experiences.
