The exhibition ‘Cornellà. Impulsing the future’, on display at Plaça d’Europa until November 15th, details the city's transformation through its facilities, including the new CIRD Pura Velarde and the Can Maragall Centre for Memory and History.

Until November 15th, Plaça d’Europa hosts the exhibition ‘Cornellà. Impulsing the future’, a dynamic and interactive showcase illustrating the city's transformation in recent years. The exhibition focuses on four key areas, one of which addresses shared physical spaces: the facilities that host and enable personal and civic development.
Cornellà boasts a robust network of facilities covering a wide range of activities, including libraries, museums, cultural spaces, civic centres, the municipal music school, and numerous sports facilities used daily by thousands of people.
The municipal objective is to continue generating new opportunities to enhance citizen services. The new CIRD Pura Velarde is an example, a space that will strengthen equality policies and support for women, contributing to a fairer society with more tools to prevent inequalities and gender-based violence.
Another notable project is Can Maragall, the Centre for Memory and History, which will preserve the city's collective history. Recovering the memory of the people, neighbourhoods, and experiences that have built Cornellà is considered essential for understanding the present and shaping the future, transmitting democratic values to the youth.
These facilities, along with others in development, reflect the idea that a city progresses when its resources serve the citizenry. Cornellà's transformation aims to broaden horizons, turning facilities into vibrant, open spaces connected to the daily lives of neighbourhoods, generating activity and new possibilities.
This dimension of Cornellà's transformation is measured by the improvement in people's lives, the strengthening of community bonds, the reduction of inequalities, and the quality of life offered to all its inhabitants.
