The project includes 25 actions combining the renovation of public spaces and basic services with housing improvements, economic revitalization, sustainability, and social cohesion policies. This initiative is the result of nearly three years of work, encompassing diagnosis, planning, and citizen participation.
The plan will focus on two areas: the Barri Espanyol, requiring urban and social regeneration, particularly in public spaces and services; and the vital center, which hosts commercial activity, services, and community life. Actions will be coordinated to enhance connectivity between these areas and the rest of the town.
The plan is structured into five thematic blocks. The first, «Transformem el Barri Espanyol» (€7.77 million), includes the renovation of public spaces, services, lighting, water networks, renaturalization, and the recovery of residential buildings.
The second block, «Revitalitzem el mercat» (€1.62 million), focuses on rehabilitating the Municipal Market, promoting local produce, establishing a University Knowledge and Training Hub, and creating the Casa dels Gegants (House of Giants).
The third block, «Connectem la Ràpita» (€1 million), will improve connectivity between spaces through the 'Camins de Barri' network, a local public transport service, and the establishment of the 'Pla de Barris' Office.
The fourth block, «Cuidem les persones» (€1.36 million), will promote community health, employment, well-being, and economic revitalization, including traffic calming in school and health center surroundings, and the 'La Ràpita Cuida' program.
Finally, the fifth block, «Construïm un barri més inclusiu» (€750,000), will strengthen equality, inclusion, and community identity with a gender perspective and safe spaces.
The transformation prioritizes people with initiatives like school routes, safer spaces, and support programs. Citizen participation will be maintained through a monitoring committee and a Management Office.
