The land-use plan of Ciutat Vella has been awarded with the ‘Premi Catalunya d’Urbanisme Manuel de Solà-Morales’, promoted by the Catalan Society of Town Planning (SCOT). The project was selected by a panel of experts in the fields of architecture, urban planning, environmental design and mobility planning (Alice Lancien, Cristina Gamboa, Elena Amat i Serrano, Juli Esteban, Marc Montlleó, Robert Juvé i Morillo and Nel·la Saborit Esteve).
The jury highlighted the approach of the plan towards a less orthodox and therefore innovative management of the territory, which is based on a massive analysis of micro-data both in of diagnosis as of evaluation of the proposals contained in the Plan. The jury also reinforced how the plan escapes of the classic concept of zoning to establish an innovative system of regulation and argued from the contributions obtained in a complete process of participation.
