The Casa de la Arquitectura in Barcelona is hosting an exhibition detailing the city's major urban transformation projects, offering a vision for the future until 2035.

The exhibition, titled Barcelona 2035, a city to live in, has been inaugurated at the former headquarters of the Gustavo Gili publishing house. The display presents the main urban interventions planned for the city, from the limits of Llobregat to Besòs, with a ten-year perspective.
Among the highlighted projects are the Gran Via on the border with L'Hospitalet, the Tres Chimeneas del Besòs, the new Montjuïc and the Fira, the Ciutadella del Coneixement, 22@ Nord, La Mar Bella, and the Zoo platform. On the mountain side, the Sagrera, Vall d'Hebron with its future campus and the covering of the Ronda, and the future Hospital Clínic on Diagonal are presented.
The exhibition, organized by the Barcelona City Council on the occasion of the World Capital of Architecture, is free to enter and will remain open until December. The tour, which takes approximately half an hour, includes brief texts, models, figures, projections, and videos to illustrate the transformations.

"It is an invitation to understand that Barcelona's future is not improvised, that major interventions require planning and a long-term, responsible vision."

The exhibition also addresses aspects such as the creation of 70,000 homes (both free-market and protected) over ten years, job creation, and the planting of 12,000 trees, according to the Climate Plan. The mayor, Jaume Collboni, inaugurated the space with neighborhood associations, emphasizing the goal of bringing the city's great transformation to a human scale.
Concurrently, the same building continues to host the 84-square-meter city model in the lobby and the exhibition Barcelona, diversity, intensity, complexity on the first floor.
