The agreement, formalized between the Barcelona City Council and the Ministry of Finance, involves the transfer of ownership of 62.8 hectares of the maritime strip. This area extends for 5.2 kilometers, from Pepe Rubianes street to Sant Adrià de Besòs, encompassing key areas such as the Olympic zone and the Fòrum marine platform.
The modification of the 2009 maritime-terrestrial zone (ZMT) demarcation will grant the council exclusive ownership of over half of Barcelona's coastline. It is estimated that the planned investment for future transformation projects in this area exceeds 100 million euros.
With this transfer, the City Council commits to ensuring that the ceded land will not be used for profit-generating activities. Mayor Jaume Collboni highlighted that the planned actions will focus on climate adaptation, beach maintenance, and the creation of new green spaces for citizens.
