FUTURE VISION-2020

FUTURE VISION-2030

To tackle these challenges, the Plan identified five levers for change to act as structuring axes for overcoming the challenges: -A powerful university and education system -A fast and reliable administration that is business friendly. -Governance that offers innovative criteria in the management of strategic projects and that reinforces public-private co-responsibility in its leadership. -Values for the future that complement and strengthen the basis of current and traditional values that bring new character to the city and its residents. -Broad knowledge of languages that facilitates internationalisation, the attracting of talent and full incorporation into the world markets. -An international airport and the Barcelona brand. To make this vision a reality, the strategic proposal was structured around six challenges and five levers for change. Challenges: -Sustainability and climate change. -Situate the AMB as a reference in the new global framework. -Be a global leader in certain driving sectors of knowledge. -Go beyond the “bio” companies. -Become one of the most attractive European regions for innovative talent. -Work to make an interesting and socially balanced society.

This new plan has to face different challenges: -Fight the growing inequalities in access to housing or employment and guarantee a quality urban environment and equality of opportunity for everyone in the metropolitan area. -Join other metropolises around the world in the fight against climate change, in absorbing the impact of digitalisation and in achieving the integration of migrants and refugees. -Formulate more effective metropolitan policies, from spatial planning to economic and social development, environmental management and the promotion of research, education and culture. -Use tools of governance that strengthen democracy, public-private-community collaboration and civic participation at all scales of the metropolitan area (neighbourhood, town and metropolis).

The Strategic Metropolitan Plan of Barcelona is starting a new round of discussion to share thoughts on how to integrate all the approaches suggested by the public and private sector and the residents at large to create the Strategic Metropolitan Plan of Barcelona for the year 2030. -A central line of this plan must be the promotion of social and economic progress based on innovation and sustainability as a mechanism for reducing inequalities and spatial segregation in the metropolitan area. -To develop this new plan, we intend to work on the basis of three major pillars: the resilient metropolis, the prosperous metropolis and the cohesive metropolis.

History (City Structure and Urban Transformation)

BC 218

1260

1359

Romans settled in the area and built the medieval city of Barcino.

In the Middle Ages, the city grew and became more complex, the center of a region known as Catalonia. An extended wall was built in 1260

then in the 15th century, the wall was expanded again to encompass the new Raval neighborhood.

1714

18 century

1859

Philip V built a fortress citadel to keep an eye on it, and forbid Barcelona to grow beyond its medieval walls.

Because the industrial revolution, by the middle of the 19th century, population density was the highest in Spain, working conditions were miserable, sewage was out of control, water was dirty, and the city was struck by a series of cholera epidemics and riots.

1854, the Spanish government finally gave permission to take the wall down the central Spanish government approved a plan by architect Ildefons Cerdà. The Cerdà plan begin. He released a modified version of the plan, with narrower streets no more than 20 to 30 meters wides and somewhat deeper buildings, with more room for commerce.

Observation Survey : Zone 1 Zone 1 is located in the North-East of this area. We started our investigation by using the methodology of observation. We started from the north side of the base, walked south along the core road of the base, and walked to the northeast area. The range of our investigation basically covered this area.

Most of the streets are residential buildings. The first floor is a number of shops and restaurants. There is a civic plaza at the nodes of No. 1 and No. 2 streets. There are churches and social service organizations around the square.

There are public bicycle parking spots, underground parking lots and a small amount of green space in the plaza. Setting up underground parking lots in places such as public plazas that are mostly for walking modes will inevitably affect the trajectory of residents and cause confusion and potential danger.

Street No. 2 includes another civic plaza. The street buildings are mainly residential buildings and shops, and when passing through the corner into No. 3 street, there are a small number of shopping malls around No. 3 street. And some bookstores.

Plaza 3 and 4 are located in the heart of the Barcelona Centre for Contemporary Art and close to the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art.

At the intersection of the 4th and 5th streets, it is also the former square of the Barcelona Museum of Modern Art. There are some shared single stations on the square. There are still similar problems in the square, and it is impossible to provide facilities and places that can gather people, which will become the focus of the transformation. It not only provides residents with more comfortable places, but also deepens people's memory points in this area.

Squares 5 and 6 are located next to the Confucius Institute and the Library. The plaza distributed next to the educational building is a good place to gather the citizens, and it can also fully display the cultural characteristics of the city.

Plaza 10 is a small leisure plaza in the dining area that has no facilities other than some lounge chairs.

Plaza 11 is located at the crossroads, but the sidewalks are relatively wide and there is not much space being used. Streets 9-10 are located on the outskirts of the site. The streets are more spacious than the interior of the site, and the height of the buildings on both sides of the road is slightly higher than the height of the site. The building type is still some shops and restaurants. 10

It can be clearly felt that this area is the most dynamic and rectified area of the entire base. The area not only has many excellent historical buildings and new cultural buildings, with the building of the giant cultural complex that includes both Museu d’Art Contemporani and the Centre de Cultura Contemporania, but also many public plaza spaces. It is also to be the location for an El Raval Humanities University. The rejuvenated upper Raval contains many several quality food shops. Carrer Doctor Dou, close to the Art Museum, has turned into virtually a whole street of small art galleries.

5,6,7 Buildings on Carrer de Sant Antoni Abat are quite same. A small plaza located in front of the church, and a transportation pivot is formed near the square. But some trash cans are set on this small plaza. We can not see too many tourists here although there is a church nearby. This may be because this area is not attractive enough, so tourists would prefer other areas to visit.

1,2,3,4 Starting from Carrer de Sant Antoni Abat, these streets are quite narrow, which only have about 2 meters pedestrians on both sides of the road. We can see some shops and restaurant on both sides of the road, because of the narrow street, the transport of the goods may be inconvenient.

8,9,10 A large church named ParrĂ˛quia del Carme is located on Carrer de Sant Antoni Abat. In front of this church the roads become wide and busy. Many tourists will come to visit the church, and because of the wider road, part of the road changes into parking and garbage collection. But these trash cans make the whole street dirty, and a lot of garbage is thrown outside the cans and make the street more dirty.

11,12,13 A small plaza with a symbolic decoration located in the centre. The plaza is triangular, at the edge of which drive the cars. People walk on the plaza, and some of them may have a rest near the decoration. Some shops' entrance are on the plaza, so people can walk into the shops conveniently. A church is located on the east of the plaza, making this place more attractive.

14,15,16,17,18 There is a triangular transportation pivot on the south-west of the central plaza, which is shown in picture 16. 4 roads lead to this place, 3 of them are oneway lane. The traffic here is not very busy. Although there is not many cars, bicycles are very common in this place. Some bike parkings are set on this plaza, including many shared bikes and motor bikes.

19,20,21 Buildings located on the road named Carrer de Sant Vicenc are not very distinctive. Most of these buildings are residential buildings, therefore it is usual to see many quilts is dried on the balcony. Many green plants can be seen on the elevation of the buildings, making the whole place more lively.

22,23,24 Carrer de Ferlandina street is a narrow street, and it use stone as it's main material. Although it is narrow, it still allows cars to enter, and uses fences to divide pedestrian and car. The building height is not very high, each building has 4-5 floors, and there is no building which is very unique.

25,26,27 Carrer de Joaquin Costa street is one of the main road in the site, which is a one-way lane street with the road for bicycles and pedestrian. Shops are located on both sides of the road, so people can look into the shops and know what they sell, which is quite convenient. Most of the surrouding buildings above first floors are for residential.

28,29,30 Carrer de Valldonzella street is also very narrow. Most of the surrounding buildings are shops on the ground floor, and residential on upper floors. This place lives many people, so it is very crowded in the buildings.

31,32,33 This place is near the outside of this site. So the streets become wider and even have trees on the middle of the street. This place is more crowded than other place, because it is near the new town area and the Ronda de Sant Antoni street, which one of the main street in this area, and it has 5 lanes. The buildings in this place become more neat as well.

Conclusion After a period of systematic research on the EL Raval area of Barcelona, it was discovered that EL Raval is a community in Barcelona, Spain, located in the western part of the old town. The community goes north to Plaça de Catalunya, Carrer de Pelai Street and University Square, east to La Rambla, next to the Gothic Quarter, and to the west and south borders of the Ronda Sant Antoni, the Ronda Sant Pau and the Avinguda del Paral·lel. The area is historically a notorious nightlife area where prostitution and crime prevail. In recent years, due to its moderate location, many young people have attracted, and there are many bars, restaurants and nightclubs. There is currently a very diverse immigrant community in the area, with 47.4% of the population born abroad, such as Pakistan, Indonesia and Romania. There are problems in transportation, environment, society, land use, etc. in the venue. Due to its characteristic location, Barcelona has attracted a large number of tourists due to its historical culture and architectural style. The booming tourism industry has also led to a large number of problems in the base. For example, the influx of tourists has made the already narrow streets more crowded and exacerbated traffic congestion. At the same time, the arrival of tourists also brought environmental pollution, in addition to a large amount of domestic garbage and air pollution and noise pollution caused by airports and automobiles. In terms of social issues, the Rabar area has gathered a large number of immigrants, and these immigrants have many social problems because of differences in education levels and salaries. The streets of the Rabar area are crowded and narrow, most of which are residential areas, and there are confusion and aging problems in houses and some basic hydropower facilities. The garbage spilled from the garbage bins on both sides of the street and some exposed wires are everywhere. The problem has greatly affected the quality of life of local residents. In addition, in terms of land use, a large number of houses in the area are residential houses, but there are no perfect community supporting facilities, such as public space and green space, market and community medical facilities that can be used for public activities. In general, although the Rabal area is very characteristic, there are still many problems that need to be solved for the local residents. Through an in-depth discussion of this series of issues, we have found some reasonable solutions to activate the community, thereby changing the overall social environment and improving the quality of life of residents.

The map shows not only the direction in which the car can travel but also the road on which the car is travelling. Two-way lanes are evenly distributed on the boundary of the site, with only a small number of main roads distributed on the site. In general, traffic is convenient, and the site is mainly one-way routes. This indicates that there are some problems in the mobility, only the boundary traffic is developed and the traffic situation inside the site is limited. Advantages: Save space, Convenient for pedestrains, Less cars Disadvantages: Inconvenient transportation, Traffic congestion, Narrow Street

The map shows the difference between single-lane parking and non-parking Spaces. And the distribution of bicycle paths and sidewalks nearby. On one side of the site there is a car parking, motorcycle parking and some trash cans. This situation makes the lane that is not wide enough narrow, parking is not convenient enough, affecting the passage of subsequent vehicles, making the traffic jam more complicated. Therefore, reasonable parking space will improve the traffic condition of the stadium, such as reducing the setting of some trash cans and adding new parking Spaces. Advantages: Good for traffic, Clear traffic layout, Place for parking bikes, Place for trash cans Disadvantages: Traffic jam at intersection, Bikes and bins affect traffic, Garbage affects street view

Due to the narrowness of the road and the bus takes up a lot of space, bus stops and driving routes are only distributed at the boundary and central area of the site. Only line 120 passes through the interior of the site. This still causes traffic congestion frequently. At the same time, the passage of buses also affects the field of view, causing a certain degree of noise pollution. However, these routes are less connected to the adjacent Barri Gotic. Advantages: Bus is convenient for pedestrain Disadvantages: Not enough bus stations in the site, no bus stations in many large areas

The bike parking stations are concentrated on the main roads in the site. But some building-intensive areas have no bike parking and shared bike station. It is easy to see that the shared bike station are set only on the wide streets in the site. While bike parkings are set in some narrow street, especially in the traffic pivot. These bike stops can cover most of the area in the site, but it is still too far away for some people living in the site. Therefore these places need more bike parking. Some bike routes can also be seen in the site. Most of them are one-way route, while others are two-ways route. Advantages: Convenient for local people and tourists, Sharing bikes is more convenient and cheaper Disadvantages: Many large areas don't have shared bike stations, too many bikes parking on the street

Through the circles we can see that it is easy for people to walk to the station from the site or other stations. It will take people maximum 10 minutes to walk to the station in the site, so most of the site can be covered by these stations. Therefore there is no need to add more metro stations in the site. It is already convenient enough for people to use metro station. Advantages: Site is surrounding by 7 metro stations, convenient for pedestrains Disadvantages: No metro stations in the site, too long for people in the site walking to the metro stations

However, it is not enough accessibility, some are on the walking track, and it is not convenient to reach, at the same time, the occupation of sidewalk parking has occurred from time to time which also affects the walking experience. Advantages: Many above and under ground parking lots in the site, Easy for cars to park in the site Disadvantages: Car parks on both sides of the roads cause traffic jam, Some cars park everywhere on pedestrain roads

El ravel plans fewer walking paths than the adjacent Barri Gotic. There are fewer pedestrian roads in the eastern coastal region than in the western region. Although some special walking roads are planned in the site, the vehicles do not follow these rules very well, resulting in a very uncomfortable walking space. The walking space adjacent to the Barri Gotic is more active, and the farther away from the Barri Gotic, the lower the activity. At once, there is more public space in the venue, but there are fewer rest areas, and there are often no seats. Advantages: Safe for pedestrains, convenient for shops Disadvantages: Unconvenient for cars, Hard to transfer goods, Some cars park on pedestrains

Most of them are in school and residential area, and some of them are even mobile. Trash cans can be seen at many streets, which make the whole street dirty and chaos. We can also see some garbage are thrown outside of the trash cans, which will also cause a large environment problem for the city. Some of the garbage vehicles can't clean the trash cans timely, which cause the cans full and some garbage is thrown outside the trash cans.

Situation of Traffic

The picture shows the traffic congestion during the peak hours of the venue. It can be seen that most major roads have different levels of congestion. The congested areas are concentrated in the vicinity of the center of the site. Although there is a two-way four-lane roundthe-island traffic circle in the center of the site, the traffic congestion of the surrounding branches of the area still exists. Therefore, it is necessary to improve traffic congestion in the base.

The two major proposals to this effect being : • Reorganisation of transit system • Reviving streets through reformation • Making Policies for the grading of the buildings so that we know which has to be rennovated and which has to be demolished. •Pedestrianisation of the El Raval District • Introduction of Government Policies for Immigrants

DESIGN POLICIES 1. CONSERVATION : Barcelona is an archaic city with abundance of culture, history and architecture. Traditional El Raval DIstrict consisted of low rise buildings with ample street interaction. As time passed, the monstorous jaws of modernism gripped the city causing it’s conventional buildings to disappear. This calls for immediate attention to the existing heritage buildings. • Adaptive Reuse like Identifying dark spots (shady) so that they can be redeveloped like senior citizen activity center • Maintaining the Elevation features of the district

SUSTAINABILITY : With the climate crisis over heads, as architects we need to forsee this reality and sustainable pragmatic solutions have to be thought of. Some Solutions which includes : •every building has roof top solar panels. •a government initiative along with a private water supply company to provide clean drinking water in subsidiary rates. • Desalination Plant for all other purposes. • Urban forests to open up the concrete grounds for grass and breathable ground.

DECONGESTION: The city is characterised by its dense habitable zones and congested streets. The congestion is such that the streets are extremely narrow and hence have to be pedestrianised. Illegal immigrants live in this district and hence government has to figure out on how to deal with the current scenario. Hence,decongestion is a necessity in El raval District.This can be acheived by providing alternate transit routes and reorganisation of street elements.

In order to equip the city for future needs (2030),the current resources and its permeability has to be evaluated.Such an evaluation resulted in the following proposals • Introduction of the shopping arcades • City Beautification • Revival of Del Rambla • Turning the green space near the church in zone 3 to accessible

Radiation range

Radiation range The PRT is mainly located inside the designated area. It is a fully autonomous and no-track, intelligent vehicle with a defined route. The body is relatively small and flexible. Because the number of passengers is limited and the crowd is fixed and concentrated within the area, riding the PRT in the area can quickly reach the designated location.

SMART URBAN HERITAGE PROJECT, BARCELONA

The route of the LRT is mainly built on the periphery of the speciﬁed site because the LRT is a fully autonomous orbital vehicle with a large passenger capacity, which can have the role of carrying external residents and tourists into the interior of the area. Because the number of passengers is large or even scattered, you can choose LRT uniﬁed and centralized to enter a site, and then can be dispersed into various locations in the region.

THE COMBINATION

PRT Line

LRT and PRT can work together to cross the entire area to maximize the transportation needs of residents and tourists, and to provide transportation tasks without interruption, which can improve the intelligent experience and reduce waste of people in the entire area. The conclusion is an environmentally friendly, sustainable and economical transportation solution.

PRT

The road is divided into two routes from a certain node, which is convenient for tourists to watch the scenery above the main road, and also makes it easier and faster for passengers to pass through the area from underground.

LRT

As the LRT serves as a passenger-carrying point around the entire area, the design range will be increased accordingly. The selected material is a rigid concrete structure, which combines many advantages, such as enhanced integrity of the entire building and enhanced corrosion resistance. , The load-bearing conditions are one more guarantee than other materials. Many convenient measures are provided inside the entire station, such as elevators up and down and a place to rest.

UDP 4: Interactive Public Space

EXISTING CONTEXT The El Raval District has its beauty in its history and culture, but there are certain blots that keep it from being picturesque wholly. Some of the imperfections in the visual aspect can be found due to the some of the following reasons: • • • •

Lack of green spaces and hence Grey. Congested electric and other service lines Heterogeneous character Unorganised positions for the waste bins (which are tremen-

dously

STREET INFRASTRUCTURE

INTERACTIVE STREETS

THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN The development plan for the proposal is to beautify and make human friendly atmosphere in the most significant areas of the El Raval District i.e, del Rambla and introduction of green spaces in connectivity to the plazas outside Raval. These two areas are key elements while defining the structure of the city and hence the beautification process can prove to be a success. The procedure is to compliment the existing traditional character of the buildings and to not lose its virtue which is one of the eminent features that should be retained. The Del Rambla is already an open space but it’s just grey plain area with uninteractive and unattractive area with street shopping making it more tourist friendly.

SMART URBANHERITAGE HERITAGEPROJECT, PROJECT,BARCELONA: BARCELONA SMARTURBAN

POLICY The policy set is to instigate a city beautification process in specific areas of importance in the El Raval District to invoke the creation of moral and civic virtue in the urban population. The purpose behind such a process is that the inhabitants see the changes executed by having more beautiful streets and they themselves take up the responsibility for a change in the future. This can be done with integration of the top down and bottom up approach.

PUBLIC SPACES

All other zones doesn’t have any proper gathering green spaces and hence it’s just a highly congested area with just building blocks which kind of causes immense amount of littering and people’s lack of interest and sense of responsibility has made the conditionInteractive worse. Public Space Being partly pedestrianized, these streets has its own character but requires certain aspects of change as this is frequently visited both by local inhabitants and tourists equally and hence has its prominence.

OBJECTIVES • The process would be done in two phases; first phase being the central spine redesign, since this area requires immediate attention, and the second phase that of the green connecting line of the zone 2,3 and 5 to the rest of the Barcelona and the third phase can be the redeveloment in the museum area and the external boundary redesign. • Decluttering and decontaminating the area from the existing littering and unmaintained buildings. • Integrating the local inhabitants of the area for the processes so that they can be a part of the developments taking place. • The lack of vegetation, which is one of the major causes of a monotonous grey aura, is dealt with.
