Barcelona's Urban Regeneration: From Tactical Interventions to Policy

The ReGreeneration initiative in Barcelona is exploring how to adapt urban environments to climate change and improve public spaces by focusing on small, often overlooked areas within neighborhoods.

The project in Barcelona's Trinitat Nova neighborhood combines strategies for complete neighborhoods, communal spaces, and nature-based solutions to address urban renaturing at the local level.

Barcelona's history of reclaiming public spaces, including the Superblocks project and traffic reduction measures, provides a strong context for this work. The city has a legacy of using tactical urbanism and temporary changes to redesign streets and undervalued spaces for community, activity, and nature.

Tactical urbanism allows for rapid testing of new programs, but this project aims to answer a more complex question: how can the adaptability of temporary interventions be integrated into long-term urban planning and policy?
