The three municipalities in Girona will benefit from this initiative, which aims at physical transformation of neighborhoods, promoting ecological transition, and sociocommunity action, directly improving the lives of over 18,000 residents.
Across Catalonia, 33 projects from 34 municipalities have been chosen, totaling a budget of 582 MEUR. The Generalitat will allocate 355 MEUR, a figure that has been increased twice from the initially planned 200 MEUR, reaching 355 MEUR.
This budget increase has allowed the number of beneficiary municipalities to grow from 20 to 34 in this second call, recognizing the quality of the projects submitted by the town councils. The Department of Territory, Housing, and Ecological Transition received 117 applications.
The selected projects focus on areas with accumulated vulnerabilities, such as low income levels, deficits in facilities, housing problems, or exposure to environmental risks. The actions are divided into physical transformations, ecological transition, and sociocommunity action.
In Banyoles, the 'Connectem Banyoles' project will address neighborhoods like Canaleta, Barri Vell Est, and La Farga, improving public space, housing, environmental sustainability, and community cohesion. In Lloret de Mar, interventions will focus on the Old Town, Can Carbó, and El Molí, aiming to enhance urban quality, diversify the economy, and strengthen social cohesion. In Palafrugell, the Mas Mascort neighborhood will receive actions to improve public space, housing energy efficiency, and sustainable mobility.
