Across Catalonia, 33 urban regeneration projects from 34 municipalities in the eight regions have been chosen, totaling a budget of 582 MEUR. The Generalitat will allocate 355 MEUR, a figure increased thanks to two budget expansions, exceeding the initially planned 200 MEUR.
This second call for the Neighborhoods and Towns Plan has a budget of 355 MEUR from the Generalitat, 77.5% more than initially planned and 53% more than the first call. This has allowed the number of beneficiary municipalities to increase from 20 to 34, thanks to the quality of the programs submitted by the town councils.
The selected projects in the Barcelona region include actions in Ciutat Meridiana (Barcelona), the combined areas of Sant Adrià de Besòs and Badalona, as well as in municipalities such as Caldes de Montbui, Canovelles, Cornellà de Llobregat, El Prat de Llobregat, La Llagosta, Martorell, Sabadell, Sant Boi de Llobregat, and Sant Feliu de Llobregat.
The 2025-2029 Neighborhoods and Towns Plan, based on the Law for the Urban, Environmental, and Social Improvement of Neighborhoods and Towns, aims for urban and social regeneration in areas with accumulated vulnerabilities. The projects focus on improving living conditions, reducing inequalities, and strengthening communities.
The actions within the Integral Intervention Memory Programs (PMII) address physical transformations, ecological transition, and socio-community action. The funding percentage from the Recovery Fund varies according to the municipality's population, with a maximum of 75% (or 90% exceptionally) for smaller municipalities.
