The city council of the capital of Alt Urgell advocates for cooperation between administrations as an essential way to solve housing problems. Mayor Joan Barrera highlighted that the inclusion of La Seu d'Urgell in the plan by the Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition is a clear example of this collaboration.
“"It shows that when city councils have clear projects, available land, and political will, things happen, and in La Seu we don't just talk about housing, we make it possible."
The municipal goal is to outline a "global strategy" on this matter, hoping to advance the promotion of the 111 homes during 2026. These flats will be built on the two plots of land that the city council offered to the Generalitat in l'Horta del Valira, and 30% will be reserved for young people.
The plan is based on the surface right or concession formula for developers for a period of 75 years, a model the council describes as a "pioneering tender at a country level". This system combines public initiative, which provides the land and sets the conditions, with the operational capacity of the private or third sector, which will be responsible for construction and management under strict criteria of quality and public service.
“"It will be very good news for the city and, especially, for young people and families who want to live and settle in La Seu, because housing is currently one of the main concerns of the public."
