FIVE CASE STUDIES IN THE CIUTAT VELLA NEIGHBOURHOOD ON URBAN REUSE AND THE PROMOTION OF INNOVATIVE PRODUCTION MODELS
The social and health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has worsened the consequences of the housing shortage in Barcelona and the great obstacles to growth that local entrepreneurs encounter in the city. In this context, CO-HABITEM BARCELONA has been developed. The aim of the project is to improve the management of “urban reuse” and increase resilience in the temporary needs of inhabitants, to respond more efficiently to emergency situations, and to become a space with opportunities for sustainable local development.
