This contribution covers 70% of the total cost of the initiative, which amounts to 12.5 million euros. The actions will focus on the Canovelles Centre area, including the neighbourhoods of Barriada Nova and Can Palots, as well as the sectors of Can Diviu and the industrial estate of Can Castells, an area home to over 12,200 inhabitants and 4,185 homes.
The main objective of the project is to improve the quality of public space, modernise municipal facilities, promote housing rehabilitation, boost environmental sustainability, and strengthen social cohesion. 23 actions are planned, divided into three axes: physical transformation, ecological transition, and socio-community action.
Among the planned improvements are the renovation and expansion of the former Sant Jordi nursery school, the remodelling of Plaça de la Joventut, the rehabilitation of El Local, grants for housing improvements, the creation of new green spaces and shaded areas, the expansion of the cycle lane network, and the implementation of various social, educational, cultural, and employment programmes.
The plan also includes a strong commitment to social support policies, citizen participation, equal opportunities, and sustainability, with programmes for supporting women, addressing homelessness, promoting active ageing, educational reinforcement, employment promotion, and community engagement.
A Neighbourhoods Plan Management and Proximity Office will be established to inform, guide, and support citizens. Over the next five years, this subsidy will enable Canovelles to undertake strategic actions to improve urban space, enhance services and facilities, promote sustainability, and generate new opportunities.
