These projects, focusing on the physical transformation of neighborhoods, promoting ecological transition, and community action, will directly benefit 6,391 residents in the Lleida region. Across Catalonia, 33 projects from 34 municipalities have been chosen, with a total budget of 582 MEUR, of which 355 MEUR will come from the Generalitat, a figure significantly increased from the initial forecast.
The Plan de Barris i Viles, which updates the 2004 Law on Neighborhoods, aims to achieve urban and social regeneration in neighborhoods facing accumulated vulnerabilities. The selected Areas of Special Attention (AAE) exhibit low income indicators, deficits in facilities, housing issues, or exposure to environmental risks.
The projects in the Lleida municipalities include actions such as consolidating the historic center of Agramunt as a vibrant residential environment, regenerating the neighborhood of Arbeca to improve quality of life and promote resilient development, comprehensive intervention in the historic center of Balaguer to reverse vulnerability dynamics, and revitalizing the old town of Cervera with improvements in housing, ecological transition, and community action.
The Generalitat has increased its budgetary commitment for this second call, raising the allocation from the initial 200 MEUR to 355 MEUR, enabling more municipalities and high-quality projects to be supported. The total planned investment for the plan between 2025 and 2029 is 1.6 billion euros.
