More x Ciutat Vella
The historic centre of Barcelona is much more than a physical space: it is the living reflection of the city’s identity, memory and diversity. Preserving Ciutat Vella does not only mean conserving its heritage, but also ensuring that it remains a liveable, dynamic and inclusive place for everyone.
This Summit aims to be a meeting point for visions, experiences and proposals that, from a constructive perspective, help to rethink the centre as a space for the future. We are committed to a Ciutat Vella that combines economic vitality with quality of life, that integrates innovation with respect for local values, and that strengthens the bond between residents, the administration and the productive sector.
Because it is time to join forces and imagine, together, a centre of Barcelona that is alive, cared for and shared.
