The transformation of the old Barracks of Sant Andreu has made it possible to incorporate two important areas of 5 and 6 Has in to the city. Drafting the Modificació del Plan General Metropolità a les Casernes de Sant Andreu i Sector III (Modification of the Metropolitan General Plan of Sant Andreu-Sagrera) document, enables the future integration of those areas within their own environment and the city, the definition and zoning, specifying areas for residential use, public facilities and open spaces. Two systems of public spaces, which continue the urban structure of the neighborhood, are proposed for the 11 Ha. To the West, a large park that continues the pedestrian itineraries of the urban fabric and is surrounded by the library, the senior citizen center and the residence hall. To the East, a Boulevard with public facilities for the neighborhood and district is arranged. In the center, the residential area and shops, concentrated along the Passeig Torres i Bages, take the shape of a powerful built front that relates the civic scale of Sant Andreu to the Trinitat. This front, with arcades and shops on the ground floor and residential units on the four upper floors, allows transverse flow to the public facilities and green spaces located on the lateral edges. Interspersed among the public facility fabric, the housing is arranged in longitudinal bands, following the alignment of the existing trees. The project is developed from the document of Criteria written by the architect Manuel de Sola-Morales
