Provisional Urbanisation Can Battlo Industrial Complex

The aim of the project was to develop a tactical urbanism proposal able to achieve a real and tangible change despite the lack of economic means. Hence, we pursued an alternative way to develop the complex, considering the transformative role of highly proactive local entities and movements.

The project establishes a strong connected street network, enhances the existing vegetation while improving the water dynamics in favour of more sustainable drainage, and finally it suggests new possibilities for ordering and using the sector focusing on its activation through local organizations.

Can Batlló has become a main center of leisure and activity within the district of Sants-Montjuïc. The old walls and fences have fallen, giving way to an overall improvement of the site’s connectivity.
