VII Summit
Barcelona, the best shop in the world
November 23rd, 2022
Auditori Cercle d’Economia. C/ Provença 298. 08008 Barcelona.
Barcelona’s retail sector is at a time of great challenges and opportunities. The city centre has suffered a progressive degradation as a result of the pandemic, with a consequent decrease in visitors and residents, an increase in theft, and a lack of cleanliness and security. Also, the changes in the mobility of Barcelona’s main arteries and commercial areas have not favoured economic activity or considered the needs of local residents either.
In this edition of the Summit prior to the city’s municipal elections, we want to focus on analysing which aspects are key to achieving commercial excellence in Barcelona, with the aim of making Barcelona the best shop in the world.
